Reading Quilt

   Starting over Spring Break, we are going to begin an at-home reading quilt project with our students. This is will be taking the place of the reading calendars.  The children will be asked to do outside reading, representative of each type of book listed on their quilt square.  This will be an on-going project and should be returned for check in on Tuesday May 1st and completed on Thursday, May 31st. 

    For your child to color in a patch on their school quilt square, he/she will need to turn in specific information to their teacher (book title, author, what type of book it was and a parent signature).  Once the information has been verified with your child’s teacher, they will be able to color in the particular patch related to the book they read on their portion of the classroom quilt.  

We will continue with the monthly reading celebrations as an in-school incentive for this program.  For your child to qualify for the monthly celebrations, he/she will need to have completed 6 of the choices on the attached page each month.  To qualify for the June 2nd, he/she will need to have read a total of 12 books.  The final celebration will be held on  Friday, June 8th.  To qualify for this “extra special” reading party, your child will need to have completed at least 12 books total from the attached page.  If your child completes their whole quilt square, they will get a special prize from the teachers.

Dear family,

Discovery World- Parent Chaperones

Hello,

Your child will be going to Discovery World on Thursday, May 3rd. This will be an all day field trip. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please let your child's teacher know by Thursday, March 29th. We have to send an invoice and payment prior to the field trip date so knowing how many parents would like to help out would be beneficial so we do not have to turn chaperones away. The cost for parents will be $8.00. Student cost will be different due to a Kohl's Cares grant. More information to come! Thanks!

Dear family,

Tomorrow, March 21st, is Down syndrome awareness day, because people with Down syndrome have 3-21st chromosomes. We are inviting your child to celebrate this day by wearing crazy mismatch socks.

Thank you for your support.
