Choose Kindness!

Our visiting author, Donna Janell Bowman, will be visiting with all of our students on April 2.  Her book, Step Right Up: How Doc and Jim Key Taught the World about Kindness, is on the 2018-2019 Texas Bluebonnet Award master list.  All classes have heard the book and have taken the Kindness Pledge Mrs. Bowman offers on her website.  We look forward to hearing more about the unique characters, Doc Key and his horse, Jim. 

We will also celebrate the book birthday of her latest book, Abraham Lincoln's Dueling Words.

Happy birthday, Dr. Seuss!!

Our school will celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday all week long February 29-March 4.  It will be as fun as eating Green Eggs and Ham!

Author visit!!

One of the Texas Bluebonnet Award list authors visited our school today!  Peggy Eddleman is visiting our school district from her home state of Utah and we learned a lot about her, her books Sky Jumpers and The Forbidden Flats (Sky Jumpers #2).  We also learned about her writing process and some interesting personal facts as well.

Author, author - two authors visit our school!

Two authors visited our school on Friday, February 7.  Jan Peck and David Davis are both Fort Worth authors who have each written several books that our students loved!  We all had a wonderful time helping them retell their stories and learning about the hard work that goes into writing books.
