This coming Wednesday, September 23rd, David Shannon (author of No, David among many others) and Jon Scieszka (author of The Stinky Cheeseman...) will be coming to Longfellow! All are invited at 7pm to the auditorium to hear them speak for FREE! They will autograph the books they'll have on sale.
On Tuesday, September 29th our class is walking to the Maze Library. Hopefully you've already been there, but this is a great opportunity for children to see all the books available for them to borrow. I need one parent volunteer to walk with us. Please email me if you are available. We'll leave at about 12:45 and return around 2:15.
Wednesday, October 7th is International Walk to School Day. If you already walk - wonderful! However, if you normally drive, make the healthy and "green" effort to walk that day. Students who can't walk to school will have a chance to walk at lunchtime so they can earn a paper shoe to put up in the gym.
