Starting on January 12, Woodcrest will be participating in the READBowl. We will be keeping a total of minutes spent reading and we will be competing for the highest student average. Within Woodcrest, classes are paired in their Shark Squads for this competition and the Shark Squad with the highest average number of minutes read will win! The competition culminates Super Bowl weekend.


This activity is voluntary and meant to be a fun way to encourage reading with our students. If your child does not want to participate in logging minutes, that is fine as well. All types of reading count so if you are logging, be sure to count when you read to your child as well as when they read themselves.


If you have questions, please contact Shera Goldstein, Literacy Teacher Coach (sgoldstein@chclc.org)

Plastic Recycling

We are still continuing to collect plastic to recycle for an outdoor bench. We collected over 33lbs in December!


Take a look at the Recycling Challenge Slideshow for more information about what can (and cannot be recycled).
