Let's Send Hedgie North!

Did the leprechaun visit your house? Were you pinched by one of the wee rascals? Did you build a leprechaun trap? Perhaps, you found some gold! Maybe…the little rascal visited the classroom?
FYI– The wee rascal did visit the classroom! Luckily, the little imp left golden coins (with chocolate inside) and a sparkly pencil on each tabletop!
Keep voting to host author, Jan Brett! Don’t give up!
We are presently in fifth place and need many votes to catch up with the first place leader. We are “calling out” to all of our “friends,” colleagues, and community members to help us out. We believe this literacy opportunity to host beloved Children’s Author/Illustrator, Jan Brett, is a worthy one and we are prepared to “battle” for the votes! How can you help? Spread the word and ask all of your “friends” to support our dream. Thank you!
Please link to the Jan Brett site below. Remember- You will need to know the school name, City, and Postal Code.
Roll Up Your Sleeves!
RE: Jan Brett Literacy Contest-
We are in Fourth Place, however, we have slipped in the “count.” We need more votes to gain momentum and close in on the First Place standing. We can do this, however, we need your support. Please help us by asking your “friends” and colleagues to “vote” for our school. You will need to know the school name, City, and Postal Code. The link is posted below,

Hedgie would “love” our school!
Leaping Leprechauns!
Leprechauns are tricksters! If you catch a leprechaun, be careful or you might be hoodwinked!
Project Based Learning
Under the Sea, Sting Rays, Beavers, Space… there is so much to learn about! The little learners have selected topics of study, read their non fiction selections in their learning groups, webbed ideas, designed posters, and are learning to “write” an informational report. Some students were inspired to continue their research at home, completing amazing projects! School is such an exciting place to be and it is ever more meaningful when home and school work together!
Pink Shirt Day
We take care of ourselves, each other, and this place!
Presently in Fourth Place! Let’s “host” Jan Brett…
We can do this! We must continue to ask all of our “friends” and family to support our school, on celebrated Author/Illustrator, Jan Brett’s Home Page- Contest Entry Form. As of this morning, we are 355 votes away from the First Place spot. As your teacher, I have a couple of “ideas” up my sleeve! I know that there are others that will support me! We need to keep voting in order to close the gap! Our dream just might come true! Author/Illustrator Jan Brett\’s site
