From the
Teacher's Desk |
Thursday is Blue
Show and Tell Day--bring something blue to
share.
Thursday night's homework will have 2 parts--a practice
writing paper for letter M and also bringing in a farm product (can of
corn, leather belt, etc.) The homework will be due on Friday.
We are lucky to have a kindergarten tutor,
Miss Neiger, this year. For the first few weeks she will be working with
every child in the class twice a week on name writing and rhyming
skills. Please sign and
return the Compact for Reading form that is enclosed. Thanks! |

Special
Thanks |
