On Thursday and Friday, January 13 and 14, the students at LBJ swept, dusted, picked up trash, and helped tidy their classrooms and the school for our “Clean2Read” trash-a-thon. The school had a sparkling clean look and we collected more than $2000 in pledges. (The final count is still pending due to some late
entries, but will be posted on the website by the end of this week). The money raised by this event will be used for the books and incentives for the “Reading Is The Key” ceremony and for the all the students who garnered pledges for “Clean2Read,” including the top three students.
Thank you to all the parents, children, and teachers who helped and participated in this successful fundraiser.
The “Reading Is The Key,” and “Clean2Read” ceremonies will be held on February 28, after the Angel of the Month ceremony.
Please make certain all of our Angels keep reading and logging in their books for the next “Reading Is The Key” ceremony in May.
Happy Reading!

Have a heart! Let us continue to move forward and make positive things happen in your child’s learning experience of the English language. Use Valentine's Day to give your child a meaningful opportunity to learn and use figurative language in English. Valentine's Day provides a great way to introduce a new idea of English language expressions to your child. This gives him/her an occasion to extend his/her communication skills in informal settings. It provides your child with experience in learning and using language "chunks" and negotiating meaning with native speakers. Such figurative language such as “from the bottom of my heart means to really mean something”; “to have a heart of gold means to care about other people”; or “to be soft hearted means to be sympathetic”, will help your child reinforce these skills and improve his/her oral language skills. Wishing you all a hearty month and loveable Valentine’s Day!
