Dear Families,

Monday is fire safety day.

Students have started book clubs in reading and they are enjoying reading with peers.

Friday is the last day of the first trimester already. It's hard to believe we're already a third of the way through the school year. Report cards will go home on December 4th.

The book fair will be the week of November 27th. There will be more information coming home soon.

Enjoy your week,

Mrs. Carter

Dear Families,

There will be a couple changes to the homework starting this week. Your child will bring home a calendar with the changes. The students will continue to have 20 minutes of reading each night required. However, this may also include reading assigned from school. This reading can be used for book projects. Students will also bring home their cursive books on Mondays and return the books on Fridays. They will need to do 2 pages in their cursive books each week. We will also have weekly sight word lists assigned. Sight word assessments will be on Fridays. This homework is meant to be work that students can do independently at home. You can support your child by providing a quiet place to work.

Kinderbuddies!
