Weekly News for Sept. 8

We start our first story in reading this week, Rugby and Rosie. This story is about a boy who raises a guide dog. Please send in with your child any stories or pictures you find that show friendship between humans and animals.

We are growing Wisconsin Fast Plants. During this study, we will be learning about the lifecycle of a plant, how bees influence plant life, and the basics of science notebooking.

Our first spelling test will be this Friday. Purple lists will be sent home every Monday (or Tuesday if there isn't school on Monday). Please make sure your student studies their words for Friday.

Reminders:
  • Open House is Thursday @ 6:30 - 7:30. I look forward to meeting you all.
  • Be sure your student reads an AR book nightly. Reading calendars are due at the end of the month.
  • There is homework every night.
Please remember to sign and return the permission slip for Food is Elementary. The cost of the program is $8.00. This check should be made out to LEAP.

Have a wonderful week!
