We love to READ!

Today we met our school librarian, Mrs. Stalbaum.  
We are excited about visiting the library each week.  Our first library day will be next Tuesday.  Each Tuesday students will visit the library for a short story-time.  After students become acquainted with the library they will begin checking out books.  Students may choose a new book each week as long as they return their old book.  We are super excited about checking out books!

Super Star of the Week

Each week we will have one student from our class who will be the “star of the week”.  The “star” will get to have special privileges and help with jobs in our classroom.  The star of the week may have someone special come and eat lunch with us.  Our lunch time is 12:00-12:30.  The star student will be bringing home the Super Star bag for the weekend on Friday.  Please be sure to send it back on Monday for our next Star Student to enjoy.  We will continue until everyone has had a chance to be the star!!

This week's Star is Lydia!
