Week of April 8th

Good Afternoon & Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, it is so nice that it is finally
feeling like Spring!

Here is some information for the week ahead:

1) Our new spelling words are coming home today taped to the front of our
homework folders. We are working on the “ch” digraph this week and
students have two spelling homework assignments that are due back by
Thursday. The first is called “Red, Write, and Blue” and they are to write
their 5 spelling words using a red marker/crayon for the vowels and a blue
marker.crayon for the consonants. The second assignment “Parent Pop Quiz”
it is your child’s turn to be the teacher! They are going to give YOU a
spelling test and see how you do on each of their 5 words. After they give
you the test, they will grade it to see how you did. Please sign and return it
to us so we can give them credit for doing their homework. :)

2) Tomorrow is TAG Day, the theme is “The 1990’s”. Please make sure to
send in the $1 donation if your child will be dressing down tomorrow.
