The 50th Day of School!

We are so excited to celebrate the 50th year of Frostwood! As part of our celebration, we will be celebrating the 50th day of school on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. We have planned special activities to commemorate the day. One activity will be compiling a class list of our 50 favorite books. Please help your child brainstorm ideas for our list. We will also be reading and writing for 50 minutes. Students need to find a great book to read. They may also bring a pillow and/or sleeping bag to class that day. If your child rides the bus please make sure the pillow and sleeping bag are small enough to travel on the bus.
