Frindle Fridays

Last week you received your One Book, One School book selection. Tomorrow, we will have our first "Frindle Friday." Every Friday during the One Book, One School program, special activities are planned that have a connection to the book. Trivia questions will be read over the announcements in the morning. Students can submit their correct answers into a drawing for a prize. We will also have other fun activities each Friday, as listed below:

Fun in the Sun Day - Friday, January 20th Wear beach attire to school, such as Hawaiian shirts, leis, flowers in your hair, etc. Please NO bathing suits or sunglasses!

Wacky Word Day - Friday, January 27th Make up your own new word. Write out the definition, pronunciation, and part of speech, just like in a dictionary. Please put your name, grade, and teacher on it and bring it in to school. All of the new words will be published together in a book to create a NYE dictionary!

Dictionary Day - Friday, February 3rd Complete the Dictionary Day Activity Sheet and return it to school. Using the dictionary can actually be fun!

Inspirational Ink Day - Friday, February 10th Who at NYE inspires you? Use some ink to fill in the Frindle pen cutout and bring it in to give to the teacher or staff member who inspires you. Don't forget the office staff, specials teachers, and aides. What a nice Valentine for that special teacher at your school!

Hooray for Homework Day - Friday, February 17th If you were the teacher, what kind of creative homework would you give your students? On a sheet of paper, write a paragraph about the kind of homework you would assign. Don't forget to put your name and class on the paper before turning it in.

Future Career Day - Friday, February 24th What will you be when you grow up? Wear an outfit to school that represents what career you would like to have when you grow up. Please consider proper dress code for the school environment.

HOpe you choose to participate!
