Blueberry, Apple, Remy, and Shadow have been impressed by the reading happening on Beanstack! We have 21 students and 2 teachers (Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Dowdle) that are active. Those 23 people have read 8,028 minutes of the 10,000 minute summer goal. Some have completed their Bingo Card, but keep recording to earn additional badges. You also still have time to beat Mrs. Dowdle's minutes (last week she hardly read while she was in Scotland...too tired at night). Right now Mrs. Dowdle has 1,065 minutes. Happy Reading!! #cardstudentsareworthit #ESED #bfereads

The "i love u guys" Foundation hosted a training on crisis management and reunification today at Farmington High School. Emergency responders and school staff from numerous agencies and districts in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Tennessee attended. The training was held in partnership with the Washington County Department of Emergency Management and sponsored by Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT). Farmington staff received valuable information that will help keep our students safe.




Our summer challenge and Beanstack are going strong. We have about 21 readers so far and some have already finished the Bingo board, but keep reading to earn those streak badges and to read more than Mrs. Dowdle. She has read 885 minutes so far! If you need your clever card please email jdowdle@farmcards.org she will be able to send them out until the morning of the 22nd and then during the first week of July. Mrs. Dowdle just returned from a great library conference where she learned about some great new books (pictured) and ideas for the upcoming year. Also pictured is her with an Arkansas young adult author, Ayana Gray and the current book she is reading. The neat thing about the book she is reading is it is about the Native Americans that live in the area she grew up and is written by a friend her mother went to school with! Add a picture of you and your current book in the comments. PS: classroom teachers you can also log in using clever to participate in the summer challenge! Happy Reading! #cardstudentsareworthit #esed #bfereads

Use your clever card to log in and look for the heart logo.

Thank you to Centennial Bank and U of A students for sponsoring this wonderful project. Several 3rd graders had the opportunity to write and publish their very own books during CARDS Time. They all worked so hard and were so proud of their work.
