This Week's Announcements: Information Item
School Wide Bingo! : Information Item
We are excited about our School-wide BINGO extravaganza! Please use this link to access the live stream on Monday at 1:30, your very own office staff will be calling the numbers live.
We will put BINGO sheets in your box on Monday morning. We will be playing 3 games. Each student will get 1 sheet with 3 games on it. We will start with the very top of the sheet with game 1.
Game 1 will be regular bingo--vertical, horizontal, and diagonal--NOT 4 corners in this game.
Game 2 will be the letter X--corner to corner diagonally
Game 3 will be 4 corners only--top and bottom letter B and top and bottom letter O
When a student gets BINGO, they can walk to the office to pick a prize. Please check their card to make sure they indeed have bingo before they leave your class. Please remind students to walk to the office, I know the excitement will be high! We will play until all the prizes are gone!
