Texas 2x2 Voting was a success!
Thanks to all the wonderful Kinder-Second grade teachers who used a web 2.0 tool called Padlet to vote each day. The results were shown on our large "bracketology" wall.
Carranza Puppets visited our school!
We sure enjoyed the puppet show Hansel and Gretel and learning all about how the puppets move. We hope to see Cinderella next year!
Texas Reads One Book
Third and Fourth graders have been reading Charlotte's Web a chapter a day. It has been fun doing trivia questions daily for the kids and for them to "keep score" and see how well they recall chapter details on a daily basis.
The Kickoff!!
Students listened to the Dallas Cowboys coach discuss the program and then read the first Chapter.
Everyone received a copy

Each day, we began a new chapter and had trivia questions on the morning announcements

A Nice Way to Start the Day....
Library Book Swap. Before school on Fridays and other days after one pm as needed.
Remind your students about Book Swap. If they bring books from home that are in good condition, they can "swap" them for books from the book swap cart. Yes, these are for keeps! They can get new ones each week if they want to.
Please don't forget about using the resources below. Play around with them to discover all they can do to help you.
