Dear parents,

Happy Friday!  We've successfully completed our first full week of the new school year.  As a reminder, please sign your child's planner each night. This lets me know that your child is showing you their planner and any homework they may have that night.  Please continue to sell cookie dough for our school fundraiser.  Thanks in advance for all your help.

This is what we will be doing next week in class:

Spelling - We will be discussing words with the long a sound.  They will have a pre-test on Monday, August 27 and spelling dictation on Friday, August 31.  Students who miss any words on their pre-test, will write each word they miss five times.  These are due by Thursday each week.  On Friday's, students will only need to write the spelling words they missed, but they must turn in their test from Monday as well.  If they do not turn in their pre-test, they will write all spelling words for the week.
