We are celebrating Doctor Seuss this week. Today was dress backward, mixed up, or wacky day. The students did a great job. Tomorrow is Top Hat Day. Wear your favorite hat.
We have 2 RARE students I did not get recognized on Friday so I want to start with them today. These 2 are on the opposite ends of elementary school. The first is a 6th grade student who helped put away math supplies for Mrs. Frey without being asked. The second is a kindergartner who is continually respectful to every classmate and teacher.

Last week we had 2 students earn RARE Awards and I didn't get them online or on our RARE board before I left for State Wrestling. I don't want to miss these two. The first was a second grade student who earned a RARE Award for being Empathetic. He told a student who did well on his Xtramath practice that he did a great job. He was very supportive of his classmate. The other RARE Award went to a 4th grade girl for being honest and turning in the money she found to a teacher. Her award was for being Responsible.
