This book will come home nightly and must be returned daily. It will not go home on Fridays. The students will be given a reading comprehension test weekly based on these stoires.

*** Please send in supplies from the blue list that was sent home in December. Thank you!!

* Please go over the papers that come home daily with your child if there are corrections needed. As you look through the papers please note messages from me saying "please review". Doing so helps you to see your child's daily academic performance and gives you a chance to work on skill areas that need attention. Also, please clean out the folder each night.

Please make sure your child has a healthy snack each day, even on days when they are buying lunch.
