We had a busy day today. This morning we had an assembly to kick off our 1 School 1 Book program. This year each classroom at Whiteside Elementary School will be reading Zapato Power by Jaqueline Jules. We will begin our book on Monday and have several activities to go along with our book. We will also be hosting a shoe drive here at school for the next few weeks. We will be donating the shoes to the Shoeman Water Project who uses profits from the shoes to help children in other countries get access to clean drinking water.
This afternoon we were able to take our week 5 popcorn word quiz and begin part of our Mother's Day gifts.
