Last Wednesday, there was a permission slip for our 300 Step Celebration. On December 13th students should be on or beyond their 300th step. The intermediate classes will travel to Showplace 8 to view the new Disney movie, “Moana”. Your child is welcome to go, provided they are on step.

Read Aloud:
Paperboy by Vince Vawter
Little Man throws the meanest fastball in town. But talking is a whole different ball game. He can barely say a word without stuttering—not even his own name. So when he takes over his best friend’s paper route for the month of July, he’s not exactly looking forward to interacting with the customers. But it’s the neighborhood junkman, a bully and thief, who stirs up real trouble in Little Man’s life.

Students go to Mr. Miller’s classroom for Social Studies. They are learning about maps and mapping. If you have any questions, feel free to email him at .
