Read In

Congratulations to our class.  They have achieved in filling our jar of marbles.  The students have decided to have a “Read In.”  This will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, April 17th.  Please have your child bring in a sleeping bag, and/or pillow and any favorite books from home.  We will move all the tables aside and lay out the sleeping bags and pillows while everyone enjoys an afternoon of reading.  The students will also be getting their slurpees if they earned them from the science test last month.
