I hope that you have enjoyed your 3 day weekend. I certainly enjoyed seeing you all in conferences. It is always nice to get some face time! This week is also a pretty exciting one. The Read-A-Thon is this week, and then Friday is a Half Day. On Friday, there will be no lunch served so go ahead and pack a few extra snacks!
Read A Thon Details
Thursday, October 31st from 12:40pm-3:05pm, 3B will be having a fun read-a-thon for the last half of the day! Students will have the opportunity to bring in a blanket, pillow/stuffed animal and a flash light from home to build a little 'tent' with their desk for their special reading nook. We will be independently reading for over an hour so please have your child bring in a book they are excited to read!
We hope to make this a fun interactive time for the students
so we will also be organizing a book exchange. We ask each student to
come to class on the 31st with a wrapped age appropriate book. This can
be a book no longer being read from home, or the dollar store, or goodwill, it
does not have to be a new book. Mrs. Stapleton will host the exchange in class
and each student will be able to read a 'new to them book' during the
read-a-ton. (If you have trouble purchasing/tracking down a book, please let me
know, I am happy to bring extra in as needed)
What to bring?
blanket
small stuffed animal
flashlight
a book you want to
read
a wrapped book for
the book exchange
