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!

9.      Continue with the green arrow.
10.  Step 3 will be to take a selfie and then if you want you can pick an emotion or emoji to add. Hit the green arrow again.
