February is I Love to Read Month! We will be doing some fun reading activities at school and we want students to also be reading at home! Our goal is for every student to read at least 300 minutes in the month of February (reading around 10 minutes each day would reach this goal)! We are going to log our reading through Beanstack. In order to log minutes at home you can download the app and log in for your student using their school email or Clever badge. We will be giving away weekly prizes! See the attached letter for more details!
Spring is right around the corner and the SOES Ball Field will be open for games before you know it!!! ⚾️

It is time for the book character pumpkin decorating contest! Information will be coming home with your student this week. Please notice that there are ONLY 3 DAYS TO TURN IN pumpkins this year. Our timing is a little different since they pushed fall break back a week. Pumpkins must be turned in October 20-22. We will then be voting October 23-28. They must be picked up by October 31st or they will be thrown away. NO CARVING or POKING, pumpkins that have been punctured in any way will not be accepted! If you have questions, contact Mrs. Thompson!
