Starting Book Groups

We will be starting book groups this week during our reading time.  The students all got the book they will be reading and a calendar showing their meeting days and what chapters they have to have read by the days they meet.  I have explained to the students that the days with a * mean they will be meeting and must come with the reading done (example:  *Ch 1-3 = chapters 1, 2, and 3 must be read for the day).  They should also write down notes with thoughts and questions to bring to their group. They may use time in class to read their books when their group is not meeting, but some of the reading will need to be done at home.

Here is a copy of the calendar in case they forget theirs over the next few weeks.

Helping Our Community

SMS has done great collecting over 450 cans for our Canstruction Food Drive.  We are continuing to add any cans you are willing to donate.  Thank you to all the families who have already sent donations in.  We are hoping to make a wolf out of the cans.

Also, SMS is helping Wonderland Thrift Shop of Stratham again this year with hosting a coat drive. We are looking for gently used or new winter clothing including coats, jackets, hats, scarves, mittens, gloves and boots for the whole family. There is a box across from Nurse Lily's office door. Feel free to place donations there. 

Your help is greatly appreciated!
