Thank you to the Francestown Fire Department and Auxiliary for welcoming us this morning! The students had an informative and fun-filled time learning about fire safety and prevention. We also loved the snacks and treats provided by the Auxiliary!

Last year, we read a total of 4,422 minutes during our month-long celebration of literacy. This year, we’re taking our reading adventure to “Camp Read-a-Lot”! Students are recording their reading minutes both at school and at home. You can track your minutes online on our read-a-thon website or using the paper sent home. I wonder how many more minutes we can read this year!

Francestown Elementary School has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year!

Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.

Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday, October 7, 2024.

About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.

We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/323831343236/1 and following the simple instructions.

We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.

Part of our Month of Literacy is to keep track of the number of minutes and books read. Please consider using the reading log sent home or logging minutes online. We announce the total number of minutes read everyday! You do not have to donate to participate!

We hope EVERYONE participates.

Thanks so much,

Francestown Elementary School

On October 8th, Francestown Elementary School welcomed Morphs and Milestones for an exciting and educational visit. Students had the opportunity to interact with a variety of animals, including tortoises, cockroaches, and snakes, offering them a hands-on experience that was both engaging and memorable.

We went on a leaf hunt! Students got to go outside and hunt for a leaf. Afterwards we measured our leaves, and counted how long it took for the leaf to reach the ground.

We had an awesome week of learning in 1/2. We practiced our core values in LMR and made videos to show different ways to be determined and independent. Next, we got a special visit from Morphs and Milestones and got to hold snakes! Lastly, we had a Cornucopia session where we made seed bracelets.

Ms. Parisi's class had a great week! We got to touch some reptiles, and visit the fire department. We have also been taking Twig on some great adventures like soccer practice, jumping on a trampoline, and horseback riding! Be on the lookout, Twig could be visiting you next!

In PE, students participated in team-building games that focused on collaboration and communication. Meanwhile, in health, we discussed different emotions and their importance.
