Wildcats! What a WEEK!!
Check out Mrs. Milton and Mrs. Vencill's parent engagement event from today! Their 1st graders were able to show off their reading skills by reading to their parents! They colored bookmarks, enjoyed a Language Arts lesson, munched snacks, and cuddled up with good books. Best day ever! (Check out more photos on Facebook.)

Wet your whistles because Washington is kicking off Read Across American next week with Mouthwatering Monday! Prepare yourselves to savor the joys of reading all week long! Here's a taste of what's coming this Monday.
#ReadAcrossAmerica #LeadersAreReaders #WashingtonOhana #WildcatEra

Washington's 5th Grade Ambassadors have begun practicing open-ended questions and other relationship-building skills. They've discovered people are typically more comfortable when they can talk a little about themselves. This also allows them to get to know others!

Washington's 2nd graders learned so much at Ag Safety Day yesterday. Everything from chemicals to power lines (which was a favorite of many!).
💡 Did You Know? 💡 Electricity does more damage inside our bodies than outside. Always be observant if power lines are near when your climbing trees or flying kites!
Being safe at home and on the farm is a must in our area. Make sure to ask your child what they learned!
