BATTLE OF THE BOOKS - 3rd - 6th -
Battle of the Books is a club for 3rd through 6th graders who love to read. It is sponsored by the Douglas County Public Library. We will meet each Friday morning at 7:45 am, in Ms. Hollist's classroom at CME. Our first meeting is October 27 (we meet each Friday morning until February/March) The kids each read 10 books from a list provided by the public library. They also write questions about the books. Each week we talk about the books, play games, and learn/remember ALL the details about the books. In late January/early February, we begin to battle. Each week our team of 5 kids goes up against a team of 5 from another school to answer questions about all the books they read. Questions are in the format "In which book did _________ happen." Battles are once a week, in the evening, at the Lone Tree Library. The official battle schedule will be published soon.
This is a super fun way to meet other kids who love to read, read books you may not have chosen to read, become a better reader and to talk about books, which we all love to do!
If your child is interested, it’s time to start reading! There is one for 3/4th graders and a different list for 5/6th graders, so please make sure you have the correct list. The books can be checked out at the public library or, of course, purchased on Amazon. To officially sign up, please plan to attend the meeting on October 27th at 7:45 am in Ms Hollist's classroom (parents welcome to the first meeting, not required to attend). Please let Emily Hollist know if you have any questions ([email protected]).
COFFEE CART -
We run a coffee cart at our school that is put on by our Significant Support Needs Program (SSN). We have the Coffee Cart every Thursday morning from 8:15-9:15. We serve all staff around the school hot coffee, tea, hot chocolate and seasonal items. We also have fresh baked goods that we serve to the staff as well.
We would like to open it up to families to purchase Coffee Cards ($20 for 11 beverages) and Baked Good Cards ($10 for 10 slices of baked goods) for staff all around the school. You are able to do this through MySchoolBucks and make a note for who the card(s) are for.
The Coffee Card raises money for the SSN program as well as for Freedom Service Dogs. Last year we raised over $400 for this organization. We are hoping to reach a goal of over $500 this school year. Thank you for all the support to give our students success!
