Two notices went home today. A hot dog order form went home as well as a newsletter regarding a cookbook fund raiser.

Don't forget to do your home reading every night. It is encouraged to take the same book home several nights in a row to practice fluency, especially at the higher levels. Please also ensure that your child brings his/her home reading book back to school everyday.

Please practice basic math facts on a regular basis.

Tomorrow is PE so please make sure your child has proper indoor footwear. Students should have indoor shoes that fit their feet properly. If your child is still unable to tie his/her shoes, please send a pair of Velcro shoes for indoors. Thank you for your cooperation.

Have a great evening!
