9. Library
1.  your class's library day   (students can get a new book ANY day of the week)
2.  We have had MANY books ruined and parents had to pay for.... leaking water bottles in backpacks.  Putting the bottle in the outside side pocket doesn't keep the water from soaking up into the bag.  We are also having mold growing on books because they are damp from the condensation on the water bottles.  I am really going to push using baggies in the backpacks to keep the books safe.  Kids want to check out 2 and 3 books, however, that puts dollars worth of books in their backpacks.  Please push keeping a BAGGIES IN THE BACKPACK at all times.   :)
