Orange you glad it's color week at Mark Twain?! We are!!! Tomorrow is yellow day 💛 #colorweek #marktwain #twaincusd1

Monday 11/11 starts our school wide color theme. Over the next two weeks, students at Mark Twain will be focusing on color words. Students will be learning how to spell and read 11 color words. We encourage students to wear the color of the day each day. See you Monday in your red (you can throw white and blue in there also in honor of Veteran's Day!)

Mark Twain students who missed 2 or fewer days in the month of October earned a certificate and gumball from Mrs. Titus. 178 students earned the reward!! Great job Mark Twain students and families! #attendancecounts #marktwain #twaincusd1 #westicktogether

As October came to an end, so did Mark Twain's October attendance incentive! Congratulations to the following classrooms who had a 96% attendance rate or better and earned an extra recess today: Ms. Gentry (AM preschool), Ms. Dennis, and Mrs. Zigler. Each month we will continue to calculate our monthly attendance rate and try and beat the month prior. Stay tuned for our November incentive.
