Conference Week; Early Release at 12:50pm each day A newsletter like this will come home every Monday. It will contain important dates for the school/district, classroom news, our weekly spelling words, and sight words for the week, as well as other information. Reading each night for 20 minutes is your child’s only homework for now. You can read to them, they can read to you. I encourage you to take them to the library and let them pick out books Classroom Needs that interest them. This is the most important thing you can do to help your child this year.
