Reminder-All School Meeting

Good Afternoon,

Just a reminder about next week. It is read across america week and we have some fun days planned. A notice was sent home with the students about each day. Please DO not buy anything for these days. It should just be if the students want to participate and making the most of what we have! Monday is pajama day. We are having an all school meeting where we will all sit and read together.  Students are welcome to bring in their favorite book or borrow one from the classroom. We will also be watching a flipgrid video of students and staff talking about their favorite books. All the videos have to be approved by me before being posted. All students and families are welcome to make a video at home this weekend. You can use any device that has a camera. If you choose to do one, here are the steps.

Go To  https://flipgrid.com/king9417

Tap the Green Button to record

Once you are done, take a selfie. Title it your Name and the book you are sharing.

Thanks all and have a great weekend,

Read Across America and All School Meeting

Good Afternoon,

Next week is Read Across America Week as Mrs. Pattersson has already sent out a great weekly schedule.

On Monday, we have an All School Meeting and I thought it would be great to use a flipgrid video. I am sending this link to families so that students can also chime in and we can play the video montage on Monday during our All School Meeting.  It would be great if families participated with their child or children to create a 30 second video. We did this a few years ago and I thought it would be a nice way to kick off Read Across America Week and include our whole community. Here are the instructions and the link. 

Just so you know, you can delete anything you don’t like once you record and I do approve them all before making the video!
