Our Reader of the Week this week is Christian!
REMINDERS
- A notice was sent home last week regarding our upcoming trip to the Vanderbilt Planetarium. We are collecting $8 for each child . The money and permission slip are due back by this Wednesday, May 6th.
- Encourage your child to READ every night to strengthen their skills. Don’t forget you can have them read all different things – the back of a cereal box, a favorite book, a magazine, a comic book, a card, posters. Everything counts as practice!
- Please be sure to check and sign all your child’s homework each night. This is to make sure that your child understands the concepts being taught in class. It is also important that your child’s work is neat and accurate. Encourage your child to do their best work!
