September 12- September 23

Tonight, September 12th, students will be bringing home a book bag.  Now that all reading tests are done and a letter has been sent home with your child's reading level, your child will receive a book bag with 1-3 books at their level to read at home. Book bags will go home every Monday and should be returned every Thursday. If your child has a list of words, please practice them each night and keep them in their bags. I will check their words on Thursday or Friday. 

Please send in a 12X12 inch precut piece of cardboard with your child by Monday 9/19 so that they can make their Arizona salt dough map.  This week we will also be sending home a volunteer opportunity to help make salt dough for our Arizona maps (going home Thursday).
