Fall Weather
Fall weather is here!  Please make sure your child is properly dressed for outside recess. We will go out every day as long as the weather is 32 degrees or above and the wind-chill is 25 degrees or above. There is a strong wind that blows across the playground.  Your child needs to have a jacket so they can enjoy recess comfortably!

Book-It
Last week I sent home a note describing a wonderful program called Book-It. If your child reads 10 books they get a FREE personalized pizza from Pizza Hut.  To help your child read good fit books, I also sent home several paper books on your child’s reading level. Please read these books with your child and have them fill out the Reading Log.  Also, your child can visit Raz-Kids.com to access books on their level as well. Happy Reading!
