Reminders
- Please make sure that your child chooses one spelling activity to do each night and have them return their spelling booklets to school every day.
- Keep working on reading 30 minutes every night. For every hour read we will make a paper chain and the student with the most hours read at the end of the school year will receive a new book and reading buddy! In order for the hours to count, an adult must sign off on their reading log and the reading log must be returned to school. Thank you!!
