Attention K-5 Bement Students
Do you want to earn your HOUSE some PAWS points??
E-learning Principal Assignment:
If a student reads a story or book and writes down the name of the book, the author, and they write at least 1 sentence about the story and provides it to me the day we return to school, I will give their PAWS house 5 additional points.
This is not mandatory….just a fun way to get your house some PAWS points this week while we are learning at home!
Example: Jasper the Brave by Lisa Mueller
Jasper the rooster lives on a farm with his animal friends but is afraid of the dark.
RED House – 5 PAWS points
