Other notes for the week:
1) I still need a few family pictures. Please bring these in as soon as possible, so we can put them on our Star
Families wall.
2) Please look over your childs worksheets with him or her. I have been making notes about the items I have
addressed with them (ex. taking your time, tracing before writing, etc.). Once we learn all of the letters, I will
begin grading handwriting, so now is the time for them to learn correct formation of each letter and how to
utilize the lines on the paper.
3) I have included your childs grade for todays evaluations in the brown folder. I will send a full evaluation sheet
home on Monday. This will include what we have addressed in class thus far, what was included in todays
evaluation, and how much your child has learned.

Have a great weekend!!
