#ColtsCanRead
Congratulations to these remarkable readers! These Colts logged their reading on Beanstack every day last week. Way to go, Colts!

Do you have the Beanstack App? At DES, we love to celebrate our students and their successes! Logging your child's reading at home is one way we can reward their efforts! Please see the image for instructions on logging in to Beanstack.

For December, we have a bingo challenge on Beanstack. There is a digital bingo board on Beanstack. Please see the image for more information on logging your FROSTY books!

Students who complete the FROSTY challenge will receive a prize from the library!

We’re bringing back Talent Tuesday on the Colt News, and we want to highlight the amazing things our Colts can do!
If your child has a special talent—wrestling, piano, art, dance, sports, or anything they love—send a photo or short video to Nurse Amanda so we can celebrate their hard work! 💛🐴

❄️ Our December Beanstack Challenge is LIVE! ❄️
We’re kicking off a FROSTY BINGO Reading Challenge this month, and students are working to read 9 books by December 18th!

📘 6 FROSTY Books — each book connects to a letter in FROSTY (title, theme, or character name).
✨ 3 Free Space Books — any book your child chooses!

👉 Important Tip:
Because this is a BINGO-style challenge, students may need to click “Log Activities” inside Beanstack to open the text box where they can type their book titles.

📚 Grade Requirements:
• K–2: Any 9 books
• 3–5: At least 2 chapter books included

Let’s make this a fun and frosty month of reading! ⛄💙📖
