Library
We just added a bunch of new activities to our library that have proven to be SUPER popular! We now have a puzzle station, a coloring station, Kinex have been added to our Lego table, and a game library stocked FULL of board games, card games and games full of critical thinking and problem solving components. Please remind your students that if they would like to use any of these things they can do so before school with a pass from the cafeteria or during flex if they flag me.
All library books are due on April 30th. Please remind your students to look for them; we don’t want anyone to miss out on field day if they don’t have to. If you don't know if your student has a missing library book, have your student stop by, and I can check for them.
