Don’t forget to read every night for 20 minutes.
Just Right bags should contain:
-- a book at our current Reading Level
--personal Sight Word Lists
--Speed Drills

They need these every day. We use them daily so it’s really important to keep
them in our backpacks every day so they are ready to come back to school.

We are allowed to bring
books for Read to Self. We
are not allowed to bring
toys or dolls.
Remember to bring a full
water bottle filled with
water only.
Recess is outside and they
come in wet and muddy. I
don’t like to be in wet shoes
or socks, so I understand
how uncomfortable that is.
I cannot call home for
clothes. Please be sure your
child has a change of
clothes or at least dry
socks.
We could use
some more
snacks for the
snack cupboard.
