Week of 1/11

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend! The next few weeks are going to be busy so please pay attention to the reminders! It will be February before we know it! Here are the reminders for this week:

- Our Reading workbooks are finally here! That means no more reading packets! Thank you for your patience in waiting for these to come in.

- Our class will be collecting pasta sauce and boxes of penne pasta for Mercy Hospice until January 18th. If you can, please send one in.

- We will also be collecting deoderant for the school's Day of Service that will take place on MLK Day (1/18). Please send this in by January 15th if you can.

- We will have a math test on subtraction, fact families and finding missing addends on Thursday. A review sheet will be sent home for homework on Wednesday.

- There will be reading and spelling tests on Friday.

- There will be a Dress Down day on Wednesday for the Make A Wish Foundation. Please remember to send in $1. Lots of students have been remembering to dress down and forgetting their dollar :)

- There is no school on Monday, January 18th due to MLK Day. If you are interested there will be a day of service held in cafeteria from 10:00am-12:00pm. All are welcome!

- Please ask your children how their school supplies are. Many are missing markers or have lots of broken crayons and dried out glue sticks. Also, please make sure they have sharpened pencils each day for class.

That is enough for now! Have a great week!
