Congratulations to our final Treasure Chest winner - Will Diaz. The Book Blast is going strong as we approach these last few days of the event. It’s not too late to complete your Treasure Map, earn your 3 prizes, and help your child’s teacher earn a shopping spree to purchase books and supplies for the classroom! When 60% of the classroom students register and invite 10+ friends and family members, that teacher will earn a $100 shopping spree. If ALL the classroom students invite 10+ friends and family members, the teacher will earn a $200 shopping spree.

Groundhog's Day + Students' Predictions = A "Will Spring Come Early?" Line Plot
This week students at Washington were polled as to whether or not THE groundhog would see his shadow (6 more weeks of winter) or not see his shadow (an early spring). They converted their votes into a line plot. The key shows that each groundhog equals two votes for spring.
Based on the line plot, it looks like Washington School students are in agreement with the groundhog. We, too, predict an early spring! Bring it on! We are ready!
