Parents, 
   This week we will again have our AR goal of reading and passing 5 tests. Those children that meet the goal will bring a stuffed animal on Friday and eat lunch in the classroom. I'll let them know on Thursday afternoon if they met their goal.
      Reading Folders will be sent home again this Thursday with a passage to read and questions to answer about the passage. Thanks for your help with this activity.
