We need your help for our computer lab. Several of our students have been breaking the wires to the headphones. We need each of you to send $2 for ear buds for your child. This way, each child will use the same ones every time and we will only have students replace the ones they break. If your child does not tear them up, he/she can use them again next year. Thanks.
Spelling Words
Next Friday’s spelling words will be:
• not
• pan
• man
Each teacher will also pick a bonus word for the test. This is a word that is visible in the room. We will practice each day, but many students required extra practice at home in order to be successful.


*Don’t forget our Fall Festival Thursday, 5-7:30 and our Halloween Parties Friday, 1:30-2:30.
