The 501st received the thank you letters that were written by the 2nd grade , and they were very touched. One student wrote that he had some Star Wars books at home that he had not read, but he was going to read them now. All the members of the 501st loved coming to Rockbridge and would love to come again next year. Chewbacca said, "Tell the kids that Chewbacca loves all the letters and pictures. He also said that he has plenty more boogers to wipe on the kids when he is invited back!!"
Don't forget that we now have lots of Star Wars books in the media center for all different levels of readers. The books in the green bins have books for beginning readers to very advanced readers. In fact, the level 4s have some very challenging vocabulary. We also have several new Star Wars chapter books for older kids, so there is something for everyone. Please spread the word among your students.
Our goal is to capitalize on the excitement for the new movie and the 501st visit to engage and build life-long readers. We believe:
Readers learn to love reading by reading what they love!
Counselors' Corner
CONGRATULATIONS to the February Attendance Winners!!! Good Job!
Custodian Closet
We are having students using the restroom on the floors of the bathroom. This is unacceptable. Please remind students of bathroom expectations and using their manners. If they wouldn't do it at home, they shouldn't be doing it here.
