PurposeFull People Character Trait for May- Creativity
Get ready for some fun as we focus on Creativity this month! One way to think about Creativity is “using your imagination to create something new or solve a problem.” Opportunities to be Creative are all around us! How can you find ways to be Creative this month?
Let’s wear TURQIOUSE on Tuesday, May 7.
Library Materials
We have had a great year in the library! Students, teachers, and families have checked out 34,894 books this school year! All library books are due back from students and parents by Friday, April 26. We are very excited to start setting up for the bookfair immediately following this date.
April 26 is also the last day for parents/families to check out a book from the RAE library. If you will be a guest reader after April 26, your student’s teacher will have a book for you to read when you arrive in the classroom. If your student has a Chromebook checked out from RAE, all student devices are due back Monday, May 13, 2024.
