Important Information :)
Dear Parents,
I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Lots going on this week:
1. Wreaths Across America- please see the note in your child's folder today. We are asking for a dollar donation so our class can purchase 1 wreath. My parents were visiting my grandfather's grave at the National Cemetery in Grand Prairie last December, and Wreaths Across America were there putting the wreaths up. I felt so honored that my class had purchased some of those wreaths! Kids can wear pajamas this Wednesday for their donation.
2. Thanksgiving Traditions Parade- This Thursday at 8:30 Please let me know if you have any questions. You are all welcome to come and watch. :)
3. Field Day- This Friday! I will pass out their tshirts on Friday morning for them to change into. Please make sure they wear athletic shoes and pants/shorts they can run and jump in.
~We are completing our S Blends unit this week. We will be learning the 3 letter S Blends. We will also take our Most Common Words List 6 test. Please practice both at home from the orange sheet in your child's folder. :)
Have a great week!
