Awards, Awards!

The third and fourth grade voted on their choices for the Texas Bluebonnet Award on Thursday. We had a total of 64 eligible voters which I think was a great total for our first year. It was a close contest, but How to Steal a Dog won by two votes. The votes were passed on to the state for the grand total count.

We will be holding celebration parties for the classes that won the 'Heroic Effort" contest last semester. Those parties will take place next week! Congratulations to Ms. Swadley's first grade class who won the overall competition!

Second grade got a visit from a friend named "Danny" via our Long Ago and Far Away machine. Danny helped read The Three Bears only Danny's version was The FOUR Bears. The second grade still managed to follow along and had a great time with the story!

Welcome back!

School has started again and all the Cardinals are back in the nest. I've had several people turn in their Hot Dog book reviews. Keep them coming! Second grade is getting a special visit from Danny via the Long ago and Far away machine. Kindergarten and first grade are learning about Martin Luther King to celebrate his birthday. Look for "Martin's Big Words" on the library window.
