Book Swap Now Going On
Our book swap is underway. Students, teachers, and parents brought in books last week. This week they may come in and select one book for each that they brought. We are enjoying getting "new" books without having to buy them! Any books left over at the end of the "swap" will be offered for sale beginning Wed., March 24 and continuing through Wednesday, March 31. Prices will be very nominal.

WE MADE IT!
At approximately 2 p.m. we made it to the end of the Mississippi River!! Additionally, we read enough minutes to equal 798 more miles, so our rafting LSA reader made it even farther out into the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks to all our classes for their special emphasis on reading today. LSA Warriors really do READ!!
Reading Tom Sawyer
Fourth graders read Tom Sawyer this week. They read part of it for Read Across America today.
Read Across America Continues
It appears that the Cat in the Hat visited one of our classes earlier today to help in our celebration!
At Noon on Read Across America Day
By noontime we were to Hannibal, home of Mark Twain, author of our Alabama Reads novel - The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Today is the birthday of another author, Dr. Seuss. We are celebrating both of these today with an emphasis on Mark Twain and Tom Sawyer as we read our way down the Mississippi river.READ ACROSS AMERICA DAY
We started our raft trip down the Mississippi River where the river begins. For every minute our students read, we moved 3 1/2 miles down the river.
