DIBELS testing for the middle benchmark is on-going. Students are being tested on
First Sound Fluency and Phoneme Segmentation. There will be no Walk to Read groups
for next week.
In library, students will begin taking books home as of next Friday. Please see Mrs.
Gavendas note in your childs Friday Folder for more information.
Please remember to send in an extra change of clothes in a Ziploc back, for your child
to keep in their locker. Accidents happen, and this will avoid an unnecessary
interruption in your day. Also, please make sure your child has a sweatshirt to keep
them warm as our classroom temperature fluctuates a lot throughout the day.
