ABCs & 123s

Thank you for the conversations already had at Parent/Teacher Conferences, and those still to come next week. I TRULY do value partnering with you to do the job assigned to us of growing these kids in the grace and knowledge of our Savior!

Practicing spelling our word work words with every bounce!

Reading Forts - Tuesday afternoon sounds like a perfect time to enjoy some reading in forts - please send along a sheet or lightweight blanket to aide in our construction process.  Each child may also take EITHER a pillow OR a stuffed animal that is no larger than their backpack.  Thank you!

Scheduling - Please remember that there is no school for the students on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday while the teachers spend time learning together at a Christian Educators Convention.  I hope you enjoy some extra family time together over the break.  

Homework - Due to the abbreviated week next week, I will not be sending out new reading and math minutes, and we will not have a word work test either.  Expect those things to resume on Monday, October 27.  Please do encourage your child to keep the facts fresh, and to keep reading a bit everyday anyway, even though they do not have to record their time.
