Announcements: For the next three weeks we will be completing year-end testing. I am excited to see how much your child has grown this year. You can help your child prepare for testing by having them read each night to you and getting a good nights rest. We will be having a small, quick breakfast in the classroom for these three weeks. Your child does not have to eat it if they don’t want to, but in this case please make sure they have had breakfast at home. Also, please be on time! A lot of the testing will be done in the morning when they are well rested and ready to do their best!
*Class Store: Students have loved coming to class store this year and spending their hard earned money. Students will have 2 more opportunities to attend class store. Donations are always welcome for this. Suggested items: stickers, fun pens, small notebooks, hot wheels, play-doh, slime, and other similar items. Any donation is greatly appreciated!
**Earning Money for Class Store: Your student brings home 2 decodables and 2 stories from our ELA quizzes each Friday. These stories can be read and returned for class money. If they read it 3 times out loud with you, please sign it and have them bring it back. *
