Red Ribbon Week

This week we are celebrating Red Ribbon Week.  During this time we teach students to say, "No!" to drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

To celebrate we will be collecting items for the Arlington Community Services. Their current needs are canned potatoes, , dry beans, peanut butter, jelly, canned meats, jiffy mix, rice, boxed potatoes, dry milk packets, cans/bottles of juice, crackers, cookie, candy, granola bars, pasta sides, cake mixes, frosting, stuffing mix, Hamburger Helper, toothpaste and laundry detergent. The classes that collect the most items will win a dance party with snacks!

Your child can also dress up each day this week.

Miss Nelson is Missing!

In reading this week, our comprehension skill is comparing and contrasting characters in a story. On Monday, we read Miss Nelson Is Missing! The students don’t show respect for their good-natured teacher Miss Nelson, but when a mean substitute named Miss Viola Swamp appears on the scene, they start to regret their bad behavior.

After reading, we compared and contrasted Miss Nelson and Miss Swamp. Check out what we learned.

The Kindness Queen



The Kindness Queen was at school today! She comes every Thursday and teaches our students to have a "purple heart" which means to be kind and show respect to one another. She also tells them the importance of honesty, perseverance, courage and other virtuous character traits.

The kids are always so excited to see her!
