Texas Bluebonnet Award Voting for 3rd, 4th & 5th Grades
Students will vote during the last week of January.
Bluebonnet Award Campaign Posters
Students can make mini-posters to promote their favorite nominee. Students may pick up poster paper in the library. We will display posters in the hallway.
Coming Soon!
Lakeland's subscription to Accelerated Reader Enterprise (web-based version) begins in January! We will be making the transition from the old desktop version this month, thanks to the LEF Campus Excellence Grant.
We are currently working on importing student data. Come to a brief training on Wednesday, January 29 after school to become familiar with how you can use this new AR to encourage your students to set and achieve reading comprehension goals. We expect it to be fully operational before the end of the month.
With this web based version of AR, our students will have access to all AR quizzes ever produced. A good portion of our library collection will now be "AR" (compared to a small fraction previously). This includes many new Spanish and nonfiction comprehension quizzes at all reading levels.
Look for emails coming with more details.
