Greetings Parents/Guardians,

Benchmark tests continue this week with Math, Science, and Social Studies. We ask that you
continue to encourage your child to read each night. They should also be recording the books that
they read on the Beary Special reading log. This will not only benefit them in helping to improve
their reading skills, but they also receive prizes for turning in their completed logs.
