100th Day of School

On Tuesday, we will celebrate the 100th day of school! It is hard to believe that
we have already been in school that long! Time really does fly when you are
having fun! Your children are a joy to teach! We will be doing some special
activities on Tuesday to celebrate this day!

Sight Words
I am sending home today a
group of new sight words.
Please have your child cut
these apart and read them
to you as often as possible
until you are certain that
they have become part of
your childs sight word
vocabulary.

Class Pictures
On Tuesday, we will have
class pictures made.
Students should wear their
uniforms for this picture.

Spelling and Memory

Verse
We will have a spelling test and
memory verse test on Friday of

sent home today in your childs
folder.
