You are cordially invited...

...to the Winter Olympics!  Maybe not of the international variety, but equally as exciting for us!!!

Team Wilkinson will have our Winter Break Celebration on Friday December 13 at 12:00.   We will be competing in our own version of the Winter Olympics :)

Check out this awesome invitation:

Battle of the Books!!

Last week Ms. Dallaire introduced us to our expectations and goals for "Battle of the Books".  We will host competitions on the school and district level to find out  who's been monitoring their reading the closest; Battle of the Books is a trivia challenge!!   BoB books will also count for credit towards each student's 20 Book Challenge.  

Ms. Dallaire previewed each book for us by summarizing the main details.   Our Team has already identified the books we are most excited to read.  All of these books are available in our school library---Ms. Wilkinson also has many in our class library!!  At the end of the introduction, Ms. Dallaire gave us bookmarks that will help us keep track of which books we still need to read for our challenge.  

Happy Reading!!

Snow Day!!

What would have been "our" view today...turned into just mine!!  Happy Snow Day Team Wilkinson, stay safe. 

(Important Note: school will now be in session on Tuesday May 27!)
