Week of Feb. 17th

Book Fair this week!!! Shopping will start Tuesday and go through Friday at 1:00 pm.  It will stay open after school on Thursday until 5:30. 

The Six Flags Reading Program allows students who log 6 hours of recreational reading to receive a free Six Flags ticket that is good for summer admission to Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington.  The reading logs are due back to homeroom teachers on Thursday, February 27, 2014.  To learn more about the program or get an extra copy of the reading log, visit:

Our field trip is around the corner! We’ll be going to the Will Rogers Auditorium for “Aesop’s Fables.”  It’s Tuesday the 25th.  Kids will need to bring lunch (with a drink) to school, as we’ll be eating an early lunch in the classroom before we leave.
