Accelerated Reader


Congratulations to the following students for meeting their second nine weeks AR goals: Ashlyn, Deonna, Makenzie, Brianna, Jamari, Alyvia, Aleighia, John, Damion, and Marcus!


Congratulations to Alyvia for earning the most points in the class. She earned 42.6 points the nine weeks.  As a class, we earned a total of 408.5 Accelerated Readers points for the second nine weeks! That puts our total at 736.7 AR points so far this year!!

Yesterday, we began third nine weeks. We started the nine weeks by each student setting his/her own AR goal.  We based it off of how many points he/she earned last nine weeks, their STAR level, and what we thought they could do this nine weeks.  Each student’s goal is different and set to his/her own level.  You should have received a letter yesterday letting you know of your child’s new goal. They will have until March 18 to reach this goal.



Happy Reading!!

A Visit from Magnolia


Today we had a visit from Magnolia, the dairy cow.  Student were told all about Magnolia and other dairy cows.  They learned the importance of drinking milk and all the good things it does for your body.  They learned about the process that milk must go through in order for us to be able to drink it. Then they got to watch as Magnolia was milked.







Don't Forget...

Don’t forget tomorrow is a student holiday!  Enjoy your LONG weekend!

Don’t forget to read and study your multiplication facts.

See you all on Monday morning to start the 3rd nine weeks.
