Way to go, Mrs. Canepa and Mrs. Sullivan! Great job highlighting Project Lead the Way in 1st grade! cpsk12.org/site/default.a…

And so it begins! Stuffed animals are loaded on the bus for the 1st grade stuffie sleepover. There will be lots of pictures to write about tomorrow showing all the fun these beloved stuffies will have!

Students wrote care instructions for their stuffies, including tips like: “Needs 3 kisses at night. Not 2, and not 4. Just three.” And, “She is a sting ray so she likes water but she is not waterproof so do not get her wet!” We followed directions when possible!

They performed for Paxton Keeley and it was amazing! My students loved it! So entertaining. Thank you Daniel Boone Regional Library for allowing them to come!

Another year, another round of blackout poetry. Thank you, Katie Canepa and Paxton Library 📝

Big thanks to AGC of Missouri for the construction story time today! Our kindergarten students had a blast. Angie from MoDOT and Angie from Emery Sapp & Sons (ESS) were fantastic readers. Our students are so excited to reread the books that were donated to their classrooms!

Missouri kids can get a free book from Dolly Parton's #ImaginationLibrary every month. Starting today, the program that mails out free books each month will be available to Missourians ages 0-5. ow.ly/50ni50Q50F7 #Literacy #MOedu

The library smells like feet, but it was worth it. 18 classes came by over 2 days to learn with the #BigMOmap!

Talking about generosity this week with LEGO's #BuildtoGive challenge!
