Ivan Green Weekly Update

As of today, we have charted 2,500 books read as an Ivan Green community since we kicked off our BEAR Reading Program in October. We set a goal to read 3,000 books by January 1, 2024, so I think we can do it! Thank you for the support you are providing in creating books, spaces, and time for your little lancer to discover the magic of books, whether they are reading them or not.

Please remember to send winter snow gear in for recess. We will continue to go outside for play each day as much as we possibly can. Our students are much happier and focused in class when they have some time outside to play!

Sincerely,
Lucas Hiley, Ed.D.
