Doing what good readers do.... read, read read!

Students spend 15 minutes each day silent reading!  If students use their time wisely during silent reading, each of them has an opportunity to earn a monthly certificate for a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut!  Storm Lake Elementary has also teamed up with various businesses to promote our Tornado Reading Program.  If students read 15 minutes at home for 20 days out of the month, they have the opportunity for other prizes as well.  November's prize is a certificate for a free skating session at "The Rink!"  So, please encourage your child to read, read, read!   I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Drive safe and give thanks!

Mia and Muffin
Last week, we had a furry visitor come to our classroom!  Mia brought her kitty, Muffin, and the kids had so much fun petting and holding her.

What do you know about the Ear?

The students are excited to be learning about the ear! Most of them didn't know that the ear contains the tiniest bones in the body.  They are the hammer, anvil, and stirrup!
