Wet Library Books

From The Library

I know students need to stay hydrated and they need the water bottles. Please, please keep library books away from water bottles and other liquids. Most library books will fit in a gallon size ziploc baggie.  Oversize books can be put in a regular plastic bag. We are getting a lot of wet books returned to the library.

Birthday Treats

This year we are not allowing cupcakes, cookies, or any sweet treats for student birthdays or for rewards. While this may seem like a drastic change from previous years, it follows the school district guidelines for healthy foods. There are a lot of great alternatives...maybe even donating a book in honor of his/her birthday to the classroom library.  Books are less expensive than cupcakes, anyway!

GATE Testing

If you would like your child (grades 2-5) tested for GATE eligibility, here's a link to the form to make the request: tinyurl.com/fsGATE

Requests must be made by September 15th.

Help for Hurricane Victims

We will be collecting coins and money to help victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas. It's through the Rotary Club, and Ms. Vermes is the contact person. We will have an envelope in the class where students can deposit their spare change. Thanks for all the help!
