Our Dr. Seuss week may come to an end today, but never our love for reading! Pre-K and Kindergarten had a pajama day and found some comfy places to read; some even used flashlights! Kindergarten wrote about their favorite Dr. Seuss book and what they would do if the Cat in the Hat ever came to visit them. And Second Grade proudly hung their Dr. Seuss colorings in the cafeteria!
We have added a HS Track Meet to Thursday, March 12th, at Wichita Falls. The track meet will start at 12:00 P.M.
Pre-K soaked up the sun today while reading outside and did some fun Cat in the Hat finger painting! Kindergarten copied the Cat and wore some fun hats of their own, and then tried their hand at reading with their eyes shut! We've got one more day of Dr. Seuss fun!

Kindergarten read "The Butter Battle Book" by Dr. Seuss and made their own butter! They took small jars of cream and shook them until their arms were sore!
Mark you Calendar - Pre-K & Kindergarten Round Up will be April 23rd!
Miss Estrada's Pre-K class read Dr. Seuss's classic "Green Eggs and Ham" and had to try it for themselves! Surprisingly enough, everyone approves!
Mrs. Milner's Kindergarten class read "The Foot Book" by Dr. Seuss, so they formed this circle of silly socks. They also shared their love of reading by visiting and reading to Mrs. Abbott's Second Grade class!

Each year, IXL recognizes the top teachers in the world. These educators were selected as top teachers based on their students' time spent on IXL. With more than 400,000 teachers using IXL worldwide, the Elite 100 truly stand out for their innovation, creativity, and passion in motivating their students to succeed.
For the 2018-2019 school year, three of the Elite 100 are from Texas, and one of those is Strawn ISD's Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Paula Milner! Congratulations, and thank you for educating and encouraging our young minds! She says, "We set goals and when we reach our goals students are rewarded with different prizes such as lunch in the classroom, slipper day or getting to sit anywhere in the class. We also use a sticker chart to hold ourselves accountable. We are good at encouraging each other. My favorite thing they say to each other is 'You got this!'"
