Morton's Musings
Communication for the week of February 1, 2016
Mrs. Morton will be Absent for a few days.
If you child is absent or is needing other pick up arrangements this week, please contact Skye with those messages. Thanks!
Valentine's Day Celebration
We will be exchanging cards on that day. Please have your child make or provide a card for every student in the class. Treats or small gifts are welcome as well as long as all students receive the treat or gift. I do request that students provide special gifts for their special friends outside of class as to not hurt anyone's feelings. Thanks for understanding.
You are also welcome to make a special box for the Valentines with your child to bring that day. If you are unable to make a box, I will have them make a Valentines bag to hold their goodies.
The students in our class are Alan, Brinley, Corbyn, Dawson, Emma, Gavyn, Jose, Kia, Madison, Madyson and Taylor.
Reading

Also they could try to rhyme words with adge, idge, odge and udge in the word. This is a
