Homework
I gave the incentive that if both homework packets were turned in this week then students would only have one packet (reading or math- their choice) to complete the following week).
K-Kids Literacy Bingo Night is this Thursday!
Families and students are invited to come join in on an hour of friendly bingo, while learning the importance of literacy at home!
Each person that comes will leave with literacy materials (first come, first serve) and has the chance to win literacy games, new books, or gently used books- all while playing bingo!
See you on Thursday!
ISTEP
Scores will not be released until the next school year.
