3rd Quarter Ends Friday, March 6
Read Across America Week
Read Across America week next week, March 2- March 6. This is a time to show and encourage our love for reading at Blair Oaks. We have some exciting school-wide activities that will be going on next week.
There will be dress up days, activities in the classroom, and a nightly reading slip that can be returned for prizes. Each student will get 4 nightly reading slips (color coded by grade level) to return to school, one each morning. Just simply fill out the slip with their name (first and last please), number of minutes read, and your signature. When returned, their slip will be put into a drawing where prizes will be given out daily. As the nightly reading slips are turned in we will keep a total of the number of minutes read. If the school can reach 20,000 minutes read Mrs. Bishop is going to do something crazy! To really push ourselves: If we reach 23,000 total minutes read, Mrs. Bishop will go above and beyond crazy!
We will also keep track of which grade level has the highest returned average. That grade level will get to put a pie in their teachers’ faces on Friday, March 6.
Monday - "Fox in Socks" Wear CRAZY SOCKS!
Tuesday - "I'm Not Going to Get up Today" Wear your P.J.s!
Wednesday - "500 hats of Bartholomew" Wear a Hat
Thursday - "On Beyond Zebra!" Wear Black and White
Friday - "Green Eggs and Ham" Wear GREEN!
