Hello Everyone!

It's the second week of December, and we're currently in the 3rd cycle of the first semester.

We've been doing Reading Olympics this semester, and I'm glad to note that we are already on the 3rd round of this reading activity.

The Reading Olympics 3 Guidelines have been posted in a new page called READING OLYMPICS. Please take time to read these guidelines.  I'm also posting past awardees of Reading Olympics 1 and 2.

For the second semester, we're going to take our reading a notch up by reading chapter books.  So prepare to read novels or stories of different genre, including nonfiction materials.

Remember,
Success is not a destination, it’s a journey.
- Zig Ziglar
Good luck, golden boys and girls,
