Star of the Week – Congratulations! Jordyn Hazamy and Great Job! Ricael Rodriguez – we enjoyed your week.

Donations – If you have any old socks at home we could use them in our classroom for erasers for our white-boards. We can also use some tissue in the classroom. Unfortunately, it is that time of year and we have the sniffles in our classroom.

Parents, thank you for your support at home. I know we all have busy schedules after school and I know that all of you are taking the time to help your child with their school work. So, thank you for partnering with me in your child’s success.

Reading – Individual sight word lists were sent home last week. Please review the list and help your child read these sight words fluently. Once they have mastered reading their sight words they will get another list to practice. One list remains at home so you can make a booklet or write the words on index cards so that your child can review the words throughout the year.

Have a nice day!
