Important Notes & Upcoming Events
- Friday Envelopes - Friday envelopes are coming home with your child this afternoon. Please review the work and any fliers that are inside, and return the envelope with your child's signed Weekly Review on Monday. If they do not turn in their signed Weekly Review on Monday, they will miss HOT Time next week. All other work given in the envelope can stay at home. Please take a few minutes this weekend to review both the completed work and the Weekly Review with your child. Contact me with any questions!
- Reading Bookmark- Thank you for initialing your child's bookmark each night! I will be meeting individually with your children next week to set Reading Goals for their independent reading books.
