LCS Read Aloud Book Challenge!

Limestone County has challenged each teacher to read 50 books aloud in the month of March! Write the book titles and date read on the form (link below).
 
If a teacher reads aloud 50 books between March 1st and March 30th, every student in her class gets to throw a water balloon at Mr. Scott! Happy reading!

Feb Post

 This has been a crazy semester so far.....

Snow days / delay days...days at school with lots of students out with sickness (and staff).

I really appreciate how our staff stepped it up last week!  I was very proud of everyone.

There were so many of you texting me, calling me, coming to my office - asking "Mr. Scott - what can I do to help?".

We had staff members across campus covering classrooms, helping each other and it was nice to see.

On days when we are scrambling around trying to piece the puzzles together, it sure is nice to know we can count on each other!

WE ARE A TEAM!  GREAT JOB!
