Everybody had a wonderful time and the children received pom-poms and a UNT backpack. We are intending to attend this year in an effort to expose the children to our community outside our NRE walls. If you are going you should have already purchased your T-shirt. All NRE students and volunteers will be in the same shirt so Dr. Happy can spot them easily. Faculty and Staff will wear their 2014-2015 NRE Shirts that our PTA supplied for us at the beginning of the year. The children will need to bring a lunch or get a sack lunch from the cafeteria. We will begin loading buses about 10:30 am and return to campus around 2:30 p.m. EVERYBODY MUST WEAR YOUR NRE T-SHIRT TO GET IN FOR FREE! RED ALERT! Our side parking lot is ONE WAY. Everyday. someone pulls in backwards and children and parents are in harms way! There are new signs that now say STOP ONE WAY.

As the exhibit travels around Denton, thousands of people will see our students’ watercolors! Below is a schedule of exhibit dates and locations. After the final exhibit, the original artwork will return to Newton Rayzor. Six watercolors were selected from EACH 4th grade class.

We are proud to welcome Newton Rayzor to the GOAL League! Learning in the Library! What a great start to a new year! I want to thank everyone for the support I’ve received as the new librarian here at Newton Rayzor. It’s been quite exciting getting the year going as a new librarian! Thank goodness I’ve been part of the NRE team for 10 years – it’s made it much easier. I have had a lot of fun reading with your children and getting to know them all! Kindergarten and I have shared many books together. We’ve had a great time laughing and learning AND singing together. 1st grade has wow-ed me from the beginning. They are choosing their own books from the shelves using their shelf markers and are starting to cart their own books after THEY check them in. Recently 2nd grade and I have begun to learn how to take notes while researching and then writing our new learning into our own words. 3rd grade comes to the library during specials so it’s been good to see them every week. They’ve learned about primary and secondary sources, as well as, searching for books in the library based on the call number. 4th and 5th grade only come to the library every other week to check out books, but I’ve been in their classrooms teaching alongside their teachers. Many of our 3rd through 5th graders have been reading Bluebonnet books and are getting closer and closer to being eligible to vote for the best one in January. They will be a contributing factor in who wins the title of being the best book in Texas! Keep up the great reading!! 4 Lorem Ipsum Dolor Spring 2016 Attendance Please do not bring your child to school late or pick him/her up early unless you have a doctor’s appointment that cannot be scheduled for out of school time.
