Report Cards

Report cards for second quarter went home Monday. Along with your child’s report card, I attached several assessments.  Remember, many of these skills do not have to be mastered until the end of first grade. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have!

Box Tops

Don’t forget we are collecting Box Tops for Education.  For every Box Top you collect and turn into WOHE, we receive ten cents.  The class who brings in the most Box Tops each month gets to celebrate with a party! So cut those tops and return them to school.
