**On Friday, April 24 Paxton Keeley Elementary School will hold its annual Comet Carnival. We will need over 400 volunteers to help “man” games and booths in order to make this evening successful, so we are asking all parents and friends of Paxton Keeley to join us!
Volunteers who spend just 30 minutes at the Comet Carnival will get their name entered to win one of 6 fun gift cards from places like Target, Starbucks, Shakespeare’s Pizza and more! Students, Moms, Dads, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Neighbors and Friends are all welcome to help. Please forward this information to anyone who you know who might want to participate. There is no advance preparation necessary. Games and booths come with simple and easy to understand instructions.
Sign up now! It’s easy. Just go to www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C0E49AAA829A4FF2-comet1/ and select the class, activity and shift(s) of your choice between the hours of 4:50-8:00 PM. Volunteers will have a great time being a part of this fun community event!
Thank you so much for your help.

In the Classroom
In reading this week, our focus was on biographies. As a class, we learned about famous cellist, Yo Yo Ma. We continued our study of biographies in guided reading. Students compared and contrasted their own lives to those of the people in our books, completed timelines that included major life events, and shared facts and opinions about them. In writing, students have been filling their notebooks with opinion pieces! We focused this week on how to generate ideas. We are almost finished with our Geometry unit. Students studied triangles and quadrilaterals this week.
