A couple of notes:
- Congratulations Kindergartners! We won a pizza party for selling the most pizza kits in the school! We will be celebrating on our Valentines day party.
- I sent home a special book bag with your child. Please read and return this book bag every day. If your child does not have it, I can not change the book every 2 weeks. The purpose of re-reading familiar books is to work on accuracy.
- Make sure you read 20 min everyday and record it on the book log.
- Library day is every Wednesday. Make sure your child has the library book on that day to return and check out a new book.
- Spelling test is on Fridays. We will have a practice test on Thursday.
