Happy Friday!

We are so excited about our Boosterthon Fun Run fundraiser coming up! We are hoping every student gets registered at MyBooster.comso if you haven't registered yet, we would love if you could take a few moments to get that done! Of course, there is a contest for this part too! And we love to WIN!! 🏃

We've had another busy week! The kiddos have been working so hard on learning about.... well everything! Wow!! They have done such a great job taking their learning from the last few weeks with place value and applying how to compare and order numbers this week. Ask your little ones about how we use tens and ones to determine which numbers go first when comparing and ordering different numbers.

We also wanted to thank you for supporting your sweet kiddos with their Blending Lines and Guided Reading book practice. Practicing at home is such an important step in scaffolding the support students need to be successful at school and at home. Thank you again! We love when the kiddos are so excited because they "get it" and they love to share their new learning!

Again, please don't forget to register for the Windsong Stampede Fun Run!! We are super excited about our official kick off next Friday! The Windsong Stampede is coming!! Woo!

We hope you have a fantastic weekend!
