Used Book Exchange Party Thursday!
When I shared the idea of a gently used book swap party, most of the kids really wanted to participate. No one is required to participate, but if you'd like to, read on...
NOTE: If you have extra books that you would like to contribute for students who forget or are unable, you would really be helping us all out! Thank you!
- Choose a gently used paperback book with no missing pages, etc., that you are willing to see go to a good home. (Please make sure the book is in good condition with no writing in it. If your name is in the book, please black it out.)
- Wrap the book so we don't know what it is. (If it's a "girly" book and you want to wrap it in "girly" paper, you can, but you don't have to!)
- Bring in your wrapped book tomorrow or Thursday to participate in a fun exchange Thursday.
NOTE: If you have extra books that you would like to contribute for students who forget or are unable, you would really be helping us all out! Thank you!

Computer Coding for Students
In our Keyboarding specials class, students got to participate in the Hour of Code where they began to learn and practice basic computer coding. Here is a link to a blog article about coding for kids that I found interesting and that includes links for coding for kids websites. Click HERE to read the article and access the websites!

You Are Invited!
We would like to cordially invite you to our "International Readers Theater" presentation on Monday, Dec. 14, at 10 AM in the band room downstairs. Readers Theater is similar to a drama production but with extremely limited props/costumes and actors read their parts (instead of memorizing them). Also, parents, if you can only come to one activity that week, please choose the Readers Theater production. Our class party is really for the kids, not so much the parents. (Of course you are welcome to both, but the Thursday event is more for parents.)
