I hope you had a fantastic three day weekend. What a treat!
Here is our week at a glance. Current Events begins this week and library checkout is on Tuesday. We still have spots to fill for Parent/Mystery Reader, so if you are interested, please let me know. The students did well on their first spelling and vocabulary quiz last Friday and all improved on their pretest scores. If your child still missed a word or two, please help them practice these at home. I included a copy of their spelling quiz in their homework folder, so you can see how they went and what words they still need to learn.
Thanks for your support and work with your children. Have a fantastic week.
