Reminders/ Notes
*This newsletter will go through next week. These
spelling words will be on next week’s test. (Sept. 2)
Three high frequency words will be added to the
spelling list each week.
*We are trying to learn about healthy eating so we
are going to be studying different fruits and
vegetables on a weekly basis. Since we are no
longer requiring daily snacks, we are asking that you
provide a healthy snack on two different Fridays of
this year. The schedule is attached. We will eat the
snack at 1:45 in our classroom.
*The special schedule will remain on the newsletter
each week. If we have a “no school” day, that
special will not take place that week.
*Please allow your child the chance to pick any
vegetables from the raised beds and deliver to
elderly.
