**The children really need for parents to ask them questions about their AR book.
Boys and girls reading chapter book can write a brief sentence about each chapter to help remind them about what they have read.
**Please continue helping your child learn how to tie their shoes. It’s a skill that will help them to be independent and to travel safely around the school.
**Please help your child to do their best
By getting plenty of rest!
Children who are rested get along better with others, feel better, learn more, and are able to give more quality work.
Excitement is building as we get closer to the day of our Famous American Parade!
The children have done an excellent job with their circle maps. We really appreciate your support in helping your child with their project. Each one will share their circle map
with the class during the week. I will pull a few names each day from our equity sticks to determine who shares that day.
Please ask to see the invitation sent home today!
