This week the students have been making their own snacks and enjoying the creativity and taste! Please check your child’s folder for a note about Snack Sign-Up.

Ask your child which OWL snack was their favorite?

On the second day of school one of my students ask me, “When are we going to have Daily 5?”  These students love Literacy!
