Childrens Book Week

We will be celebrating Childrens Book Week March 2 - 6 with many special
activities. As the grand finale of this week, each student is being asked to come
dressed as his or her favorite book character on Friday, March 6. I cant wait to
see the book characters that we will have in our class that day!

George Washingtons
Breakfast
This week we will be reading a
book entitled George
Washingtons Breakfast. Then we
will enjoy celebrating George
Washingtons birthday with our
own George Washingtons
breakfast. We will learn that his
breakfast was much different
from ours!

Thanks!
I would like to thank Brooke
McCulley for being our Mystery
Reader today. I appreciate her
willingness to share her time and
talents with us! I would also like
to thank the McCulley Family for
providing lunch for the class
today.

Spelling and Memory

Verse
We will have the spelling test and
memory verse test on Friday that
we were supposed to have last
week. I am sending home again
the spelling list and memory
verse today in your childs folder
in case you have misplaced it.
