In an effort to get the junior high and high school reading more for the Reading Challenge, we have an online reading log! Mrs Ivers made each student a book mark with a QR code. All your child has to do is read for 30 minutes, log on with the QR code, record book and time. If they tell you what they read, they get another chain link for our school wide competition. Please encourage your child to read. It can be a book, magazine, online article, graphic novel, picture book to a young one, if they are reading, it counts! #readingisimportant #quackingforbookschallenge #parentsmakeadifferenceintheirchildseducation

Ben Carson’s secret? His mother, Sonya, who limited TV and forced him to read two books a week—even though she couldn't read them herself. Proof that one person's belief can change a life. 📚

Day 5 (3/20) Americas Day: Chicken and Steak Street Tacos, Pico de Gallo, and Tortillas, with baked Cinnamon-Sugar "Doughnut Holes" for dessert. No pics of dessert, unfortunately,--we were in a hurry to make enough to share at the Electives Showcase.

The kids had a lot of fun learning how to make lots of new foods...and we only had two small injuries (one cut, one burn) all week. Success!
