Take-Home Book Title:

The student may take home the book that they “re-
read” Ten Pets at the beginning of the lesson today.
Please send it home with your introduction and
invitation to families. They can bring the forms back
for next Wednesday when we are here. It is ok to give
forms to teachers, and we can pick them up. You can
send home that 1st book and your information with
the bag. YOU KEEP the new book and games in case
you want to use them again next week.

Typically, we will pick up the children from their classrooms, work with them approximately 40-45 minutes, and then
return them to their classrooms.
