Note From our Librarian
Book Fair will be happening at Spicewood this year but it will look a little different!! The fair will be all online with lots of selection just like in the years past! Please stay on the lookout for information in the coming weeks!
You will be able to select and purchase books via eWallet beginning on Nov. 12 and running until Nov. 27. This is a great opportunity to buy gifts and to select a book for your teacher's classroom, if you so desire. Thank you for always being such amazing supporters of our beloved Spicewood Elementary school! - Mrs. Reeb
Choice Workshop Round 3
Spicewood Elementary is hosting a weekly Choice Workshop for students on Fridays. Each Friday during your child’s designated special’s time (both in person and virtual), students will choose one option from the Choice Workshop choice board in their Friday Schoology folder. This workshop will be a 30 minute long recorded video, and gives students the opportunity to dive into their current interests and discover new talents they may have! A new round of workshops will be offered every 3 weeks. Below are the Choice Workshop options and materials your child will need to participate. Please share these options with your child, and collect the materials needed. If your child is an in-person learner, please send the needed materials with your child on Friday morning. If you have any questions, please contact Jessica Oates and Alexandra Peoples.
