Friday, January 10

Students are bringing home some exciting opportunities today!  Please go through the papers in their backpack with them, so they do not miss out.  Here are a list of opportunities you should be looking for:

1. MATH BOWL SIGN UP:  We are proud to hold the 1st place Division Title for the 2013 competition.  Now we are looking forward to working toward holding that title again this year.  We are looking for anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of Math through games, challenges, and competition. You don't need to be "Good at Math" to join.  You just need to be willing to have fun, work hard and collaborate with others.  We hope you will join us! Permission slips are due by the 1st practice on Wednesday, January 15th from 5:30-7:00 in the Needham Library.

2. Poetry Contest: Time For Kids is sponsoring the yearly Poetry Contest. Students are challenged to write a humorous poem using creativity, originality and rhyme.  All poems should be turned in to Mrs. McCain by January 21.

3. I Love to Read Challenge: Record your time reading for the chance to win $500 and $250 for your classroom.  Due to the weather the time for reading was extended.  All reading totals are due by March 7.

Please take advantage of these opportunities to engage your child in enriching and educational activities.  If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
