Some students have gone home with a hershey kiss today. Students are asked challenging questions throughout the week and sometimes they receieve a “kiss for their brain”. It’s a little reward for taking the challenge. All students end up receiving one by the end of the month. They are not allowed to eat it until they tell you why they received it.
If you read this newsletter by THURSDAY evening, please send me an email. Your child will receive a sparkle to add to the class bucket. As you know, sparklers are a BIG deal in our class. 🙂
Have a Blessed Week,
Mrs. Vazquez
