Reminders


Thanksgiving break is November 27th-December 1st.

Please continue to help your student fill out their November reading journal. I suggest reading at least 15 minutes every night. After you read, please write down how many minutes your student or you read (please write this on the calendar) and the title of the book (please write this on the last page). There is also an activity sheet in the reading journal, this sheet has two sides. Please complete these with your student before they turn it in at the end of the month.

Please make sure your student wears (or brings) a pair of gym shoes every day. They will not be able to participate in Gym without proper footwear.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
