PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH WITH YOUR SCHOLASTIC ORDER -checks only made out to Scholastic Book Club. Also,
 there are several children who have been coughing all day.  Please as a courtesy to the other children in class keep your children home if they have a persistent cough.  Thank you so much for your cooperation in these matters.
 
Also, next week is NOT the 100th day of school as the homework packet says, we only have been in school for 88 days.
Thank you!

The children will be wearing pj's to the Zeiterion field trip on Jan. 31st and will be back in time for lunch.

12/6

Could you please label all sweaters, sweatshirts, etc.  we are running into a real problem with children losing their clothing because their names are not on them?  Thank you!
Also, homework ( 1 sheet ) is due on the Monday of every week.
In regards to the reading sheets the sheet should be filled every month.  There are only 20 lines and we would love for the children to be read to as well as later this year learning how to read to you.  


Could you please send in the word lists on Fridays.  We will only test them once a week.
