Spring's Coming

A bunch of us worked on Raz Kids this morning! Please go on Raz Kids with your child to see what they are reading. Have them read to you even. It is a great resource to help your child read!

I will still accept scholastic orders, but please know any future orders may not be received until after Spring Break.

Continue to study your spelling words. Your child brought home a list of their words, but they are also on the blog.

There is a Family Dance tomorrow, Thursday, March 12th at 6pm. There will be snacks and drinks for sale at the dance. I hope to see you all there.

If your child has "yellow" words, please practice saying and/or spelling these words with them daily. It will enhance their reading ability. Give a little check mark once the say it and another if they can spell it!
