Donors Choose!

This week we received a big box from Donor's Choose - an awesome website that allows donors all over the world to donate to classroom projects. This was Miss Barber's third fully funded project and we received a class set of the 4th and 5th grade leveled texts that are recommended by the CORE Standards which we will be implementing next year. These books are wonderful!! And now we will be able to use them in class every day! Here are some pictures of the big reveal!









Door Decorating Contest

Every year for Read Across America week we do a door decorating contest at our school. This year the doors were judged on "creativity, theme, and Dr. Seussiness." Here's the evolution of our door - definitely a team effort. I was so proud of the way my kids worked together on this project!
