Valentine Party
Our Valentine Party will be next Friday. Each student should bring a valentine for each
member of the class by Thursday. I would like to thank our room mother, Nicole
Saunders, for all the work that she has already put into planning this party.

Reader
I am sending home today a list of
the AR books that your child has
tested on so far this semester.
This is for your information so
that you will be able to see how
many AR tests your child has
taken and how many your child

Spelling and Memory

Verse
We will have a review spelling
list for next week. Students who
have already mastered spelling
these words will not have to take
this test. You will receive a note
indicating this if your child does
not have to take this test. Every
student will take the memory
verse test next week.
