Announcements:
Please
send your student with a healthy snack and lunch to help him or her be
successful throughout the day in the classroom.
We have noticed that students who have highly-processed and sugary meals
have difficulty concentrating in class and regulating behavior, especially in
the afternoon.
Reading
groups continue this week, and students should be reading their leveled readers
out loud with parents 20-30 minutes every night. Please send books back to
school on Mondays and Thursdays. Remember to record your child’s reading time
in their planners!
