Library cards and more!

Library Card Drive

Today we had a visit from a Franklin Public Librarian to tell us about this special program!

THESE APPLICATIONS ARE IN FOLDERS TODAY!

Please read below from the Johnson County Public Library:

It's almost time to start our next round of the Library Card Application Drive. 

Each child should return the completed application to school to get their FREE public library card.  If your child already has a card, you can check the box on the application saying this and return to school.

Cards will be mailed to your home address.

From September 1st to December 31st we will be running a new program called Library Stars. Kindergarteners with library cards will earn incentives for coming to the library three times during the program - stickers for their library cards, sparkly pencils, their name on our Wall of Stars, and a special Library Stars book back. Our hope is that we can encourage families to become regular library users.

The Franklin Elementary with the highest percentage of LIbrary Starts will win a fun visit from the public library!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

Today we finished our first writing project and displayed it in the hallway to share!  We read the story Chicka Chicka, Boom Boom.  Then we made our own coconut trees and wrote about our names.  They did a great job!

Box Tops

Don't forget that Creekside collects Box Tops for Education!  When you purchase something that has a Box Top on it (cereal, Kleenex, even some butter tubs!) cut it off and send it in to school!  Each one we send in helps us earn money for projects around the school!

Bingo for Books

Mark your calendars! Creekside PTO BINGO for Books and Pizza Night is next week and you do not want to miss this FREE event at Creekside.  Please join us for free pizza and free BINGO on Thursday, September 15th from 5:30-7pm. Every child goes home with a new book! This event is FREE and for the whole family and loads of FUN!

Picture Day
School Picture Day is September 22nd!  Picture order forms are in folders today.  Every child will get their picture taken on the 22nd.  If you are interested in ordering pictures, please fill out the envelope and return to school on or before the 22nd.

Math
Today in math we played a memory game.  The boys and girls played in partners and had to turn over two dot cards.  If the dot cards matched, they got to keep them.  We had fun!

Have a great week!
