Valentines Day 2021💕
Valentines Day will look a little different at school this year. There will be no Valentine exchanges in our elementary classes district wide. Teachers are allowed to do a classroom celebration which may include an exchange of valentine cards made at school. In keeping with our "Stronger Together" plan items from home are not allowed for exchange at this time. We appreciate your continued support as we do all we can to keep our elementary students safe and attending in person during this challenging school year. Your child's teacher will explain their plans as we get closer to Valentines Day.
Tanner Library - Mrs. Sager
I added the February Choice Board to the Library Home Page and Symbaloo.
This gives students resources, read alouds, and activities to be used anytime. You will find resources about Groundhog Day, President's Day, Black History Month, and Valentine's Day. There are also choice boards with Space and Underwater themes. And there are some interactive activities.

Tanner students studied various book awards such as the Caldecott, the Coretta Scott King, and the Theodor Seuss Geisel. After reading and analyzing many new picture books they voted on the book they would choose to win the Caldecott award. Tanner students choose Lift by Minh Le and illustrated by Dan Santat. The Youth Media Awards will be announced on Monday January 25th. I wonder if our choice will win.

Simply follow these instructions:
