Theme: Reading Feeds the Minds of Youth!
We will enjoy special reading activities each Monday! Guest readers will visit on Monday, February 1st and we’ll have “Mystery Readers” the remaining Mondays. We will be collecting boxed or canned food donations for the UDMO food pantry as well as “Help for Haiti” cash donations. These will be collected in the media center and delivered at the end of the week!
A reading competition will be held at OES throughout the month. Each family is to record their total number of books/chapters read each week. That form must be returned EACH FRIDAY to the classroom of the oldest/only child in the family. We will chart the weekly progress and the winning team will get to celebrate at the end of February!
Author, Jeanette Hopkins, will visit each classroom, PreK through 3rd grade, on February 18th and 19th. Book pre-order forms have been sent home with students: if you wish to order, please return order forms and payment by Wednesday, February 3rd. The author will then deliver a signed copy of the book during her visit.
