The results of the Beanstack Book Contest were announced.  My class came in third for the district and first for Clovis Grove.  Mrs. Richter surprised them with a certificate for a free pizza or salad at Kwik Trip and a free kids meal at Texas Road Star.  There are also mini cupcakes waiting for them on Monday.  Congrats to my class.


February Reading Minutes are due next week.  I will accept them until Friday, March 6.  Students who turn in their calendars will receive the usual $500 Cougar Cash for the end of the year auction and a certificate for a personal pizza at Pizza Hut.  In addition, this month they will receive the Timber Rattlers Gift Package and a digging card for our Treasure Hunt on Wolverine Island class game.  If you misplaced your calendar you will find one on my web page.  You can also send me an email or write a note in your child's agenda that they read their 400 minutes for February.

Tomorrow is the 4th Grade Acknowledgement Day for those students who have had two or less missing/late assignments and no behavior referrals for the month of February.  There will be a choice of two movie rooms and one game room.  There will also be a work room for those who did not earn the acknowledgement.


Tomorrow is group picture day for the yearbook.  If your child is part of a school team or group and has a uniform, please have them bring it to school tomorrow for pictures.

Tomorrow is Blue and Gold Day - although I have heard rumors that some students will be wearing Red and White.


Most students have been doing an excellent job of filling out their Agendas each afternoon.  For those who do not, it will be treated the same as a missing assignment - loss of ticket, working lunch and strike towards any grade level acknowledgements. This truly only pertains to a few students, but I wanted to let everyone know this information.

Fourth Grade is starting a new acknowledgement.  Students who have 2 or fewer missing/late assignments and no office write-ups will be invited to enjoy a movie afternoon on February 28.  Two of the fourth grade classrooms will show a movie so there will be a choice.


January Reading Minutes are due on Friday.  In addition to the pizza certificate and Cougar Cash, 5 points will be awarded to each treasure hunt team for each member who turns in their minutes.  If you have misplaced the January Reading Calendar just send me an email or write a note in the agenda that your child read 400 minutes for January.
