Your child is allowed to bring in a pair of slippers to wear on rainy days. The slippers are to be kept at school. Inexpensive slippers can be found at Wal-mart.
This morning we took our spelling pre-test. If your child "tested-out" they do not have to take the test on Friday. They will be allowed to read or choose another academic activity. If they "tested-out" they are still required to do spelling homework on Monday and Thursday. Please have your child pick a more challenging choice for their Thursday homework if they "tested-out." You will know if your child "tested-out" because they will have their pre-test in their homework binder each Monday. If you have any questions or concerns please feel welcome to contact me. As we approach flu season, please remind your children to wash hands with soap and water frequently. Students are allowed to wash hands prior to recess and lunch. Hand sanitizer is always available in the back of the classroom as well.
