Mystery Reader

We will have a Mystery Reader

visit our class on most Fridays to
read to us. We are looking
forward to finding out who the
special guests will be on these
Fridays. If you did not get a
chance to sign up to be our
Mystery Reader, there will be
another opportunity to do so
after Christmas.

Weekly Work Folders will be
sent home on Friday each
week. Please sign the folder
and return it to school on the

should keep the papers in the
folder and go over them with
your child. Thank you in
advance for your help with
this.
