Things going on in the
classroom
The beginning of the second quarter is here. We just
completed the First Reading and Math Benchmarks.
All students should be reading a minimum of 20 minutes
each night.
Due to the busy and short week last week, we will
continue to work on Letterland Unit 8 (-tch and –cket
words) I am sending home a bingo board as spelling
homework. The completed bingo board, math and
baggie book should all be completed and returned to
school on Friday, November 6th.
Please send your child to school in a warm jacket. As
long as it is not raining we will go outside for recess.
If you have any concerns or questions, please e-mail me
