***Next week I will be gone to NY with my family. My daughter, Kaylee, is competing at Ski Nationals with her NMU ski team all next week in Lake Placid and my son, Cooper, is competing at the Nike Indoor Track Nationals in NYC, so we will be going to cheer them on! Miss B. will be subbing for me all week. She is doing such a fantastic job, the kids are in great hands! I will have some access to my email during the week, but please copy Miss B on any email communications you need to send next week so they don't get missed: kbartholomew@lowellschools

March is Reading Month!
Keep reading those books! During the month of March we will be getting extra reading hours in at home! Today in your child's folder is a map of the US and a reading calendar. Please follow Mrs. Burnett's directions for reading at home. For every book your child reads to you, or you read to them, they will be able to color one state on the US map. You will continue to do this throughout the entire month of March. At the end of the month you will send in your child's map with the states colored in for the amount of books they read. For every ten states/books they complete they will earn one ticket towards a drawing for some fun prizes! The kindergartners have the opportunity to earn up to four tickets. Have fun reading and "traveling" across the US!
