We will be starting our One School, One Book read aloud of the book Wishtree by Katherine Applegate on Monday, February 8th. More information about our "One School, One Book" and the book is linked below. We will also be celebrating Black History Month, Valentine's Day on February 14th, and Random Acts of Kindness Day on February 16th. The month will conclude with Right to Read Week the week of Feb. 27th. The daily schedule for Right to Read Week, including the dress up theme for each day, is linked below.
Our new word of the month for February is "Cooperation". We teach students the value and importance of collaboration and working together as a team. We also teach students that it is important to work effectively and respectfully within diverse teams.
