Magazine Drive

Help us earn funds to purchase a Nintendo Wii for Longfellow. The paper drive returns and this time we're seeking your magazines, catalogs, and phonebooks! Help us collect as many magazines, catalogs, and phonebooks as possible throughout the month of February.

In thanks, Longfellow will purchase a book for our classroom library for every 50 pounds of recycling you bring in.

Thanks!

Writing

Throughout the second quarter, students have been working on creating Non-Fiction Fact Books. Mrs. Mueller's students created animal fact books. These books are on display in the classroom. Their next fact book will be on a country. Students will go to the computer lab and research their country using an online website called Culture Grams. Please ask your child about what they have learned.
