B-E-S-T

Last week we had a kick-off assembly for our BEST program! Each student received a copy of the BEST matrix. The students receive BEST credits for showing Behavior, Effort, Scholarship and Teamwork in different areas of the school. It would be great to go over the matrix at home as a reminder of the expectations in school.

100 Book Challenge

The students in 2M8 will be participating in the 100 Book Challenege. Every night your child will be coming home with a blue 100 Book Challenge bag. Inside this bag will be their folder, log sheet and books. Every night your child must read for 30 minutes which is equal to 2 steps on their reading log. It is extremely important that their log is signed every night so that their steps can be counted, as each child has their steps entered into the computer. Remember, the books your child will be reading should be Fun, Fast, and Easy!
