I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye

Earth Day was Monday, April 22.
Mrs. Zank's class planted flowers in the pots and cleaned up the school yard in celebration. Thank you for helping the Earth and making our school look so pretty and clean!
On Thursday, April 25th Mrs. Kueker and Mrs. Otto gathered with some of the 4th, 5th and 6th grade students in the Bueker Library for the Mark Twain Reading Club celebration! The students talk about these books throughout the year during library class and they have been working hard since last summer to read at least 4 of the 12 Mark Twain nominated books from this year’s list. After reading each book, students had to pass a comprehension quiz. In March, the students got to vote for their favorite nominated book and the votes were then submitted to the Missouri Association of School Librarians to help decide the 2023-24 Mark Twain winner for the state of Missouri. The students’ hard work was celebrated at the party by enjoying snacks, choosing a free book to take home, receiving a reading award, playing a game, and of course hearing the overall winner in the state. It was a fun afternoon celebrating the reading accomplishments and hard work of all of these students and they are already excited to start reading the Mark Twain Nominees for the next school year!
