Things to Remember:

• Bring your white folder (or any other type of thick folder) and planner to school EVERY DAY!  You are choosing to have a stop & think on days when you leave them at home, because we use them everyday.

• Read 20 minutes or more every night with your family.  Bring the "Paws" for Reading page back to school every Friday.

• Complete your math homework every night, M-Th, and return the next day.

Secret Question of the Week:

One of the vocabulary categories we are studying this week is "Shape Words."  How many flat shapes do you know?  List as many as you can!
