Notes from the Teacher
Hello parents!! We had a GREAT first week!!
Sight words are now in your child’s binder to begin practicing at home :)
I try to put our Newsletter in the planner on the Friday before the new week. If you don't see it on Friday, it will be in the planner by Monday of the new week. They will be in a sleeve protector in your child’s Planner. Spelling Words will begin to come home the week of Aug 29th.
**Please send in an old, oversized tee-shirt for Art class. We’ll keep them here in class and use them to keep our uniform shirts clean on Art days.
Thank you so much for your support!
😊 Have a BEAUTIFUL week! 😊
