Highlights of the
Week
Book Fair
Students were excited to welcome Clifford on Thursday
morning! Clifford was at Gold Rush to
help kick off our book fair. The
children’s excitement continued as they visited the book fair throughout the
remainder of the week. We thank the PTO
for making the book fair possible! We
also hope to see you on Monday for Clifford’s birthday from 4:30-7:00PM. The book fair will be open on Tuesday and
Wednesday from 8:30-7:00PM as well.
Students who bring in a receipt from the fair next week will also
receive a doughnut from our Dad’s Club.
Teacher Learning on
Tuesday
While the students were off on Election Day, the teachers
were busy collaborating on best literacy practices. We were fortunate to listen to reading expert
Stephanie Harvey speak about how we can help create strategic readers, or
readers who use a variety of strategies automatically and deliberately to
understand text. We are excited to have
Stephanie return in February for another professional development day!
Thanksgiving

are excited to honor the Thanksgiving holiday next Wednesday with our own Gold
