Pouncing into Patton

We made it through our first full week of the year! Your 6th graders continue to work hard and strive to be their best.

Band will begin16 September. Please email Mr. Hall with any questions. ahall@usd207.org

As a team, we have implemented an IXL challenge for the students. As they successfully master skills on IXL, they are keeping track of them on a recording sheet. For every 25 skills mastered, students have the opportunity to choose a prize from the IXL Prize Bin in their homeroom. Each classroom has some prizes in their bin already, but we could really use some help to add to the rewards. If you would be willing to contribute some prizes, it would be greatly appreciated.

Suggested prizes: candy, small trinkets and fidgets, special pens and pencils, stickers, stress balls, etc.
