October 5 has been designated as World Teacher Day (also known as International Teacher Day). This day is held annually to celebrate all teachers. Texhoma Elementary is so blessed to have so many amazing teachers and supporting staff to educate our students. If you see a teacher today, make sure to thank them for the tireless effort they put forth every day to ensure all students are successful and loved.

We are so excited to have the book fair this month. We will be open Wednesday, October 6-Tuesday, October 12. More information about shopping times and location will be sent home with the students soon.

Reading to your students, or them reading independently has so many benefits to their learning. According to www.ekidstation.com the 5 benefits of reading are:

* Improves Brain Function

* Increases your Knowledge

* Theory of Mind/Tolerance

* Enhances your Vocabulary

* Sharpens your Memory.

Reading is an essential life skill. Reading can also help enhance a student's imagination and can help foster concentration. Reading is essential in all content areas. Reading books with your students is a great way to spend quality time together. After a busy, hectic day, it's one way both parents and students can unwind and relax. Reading is a great source of entertainment. Some say it creates a movie in your head.

The Scholastic Book Fair is a great opportunity to add to your home library. You don't want to miss out.

Don't forget to download the school app for important information. The app includes lunch menus, calendar updates, Live Newsfeeds, and contact information. Make sure you allow for notification, so you don't miss anything.
