Other Notes:

• Please check and sign your child's planner nightly. 
• This week a running list of memory words will be sent home. These are memory words your child has learned in class. Please practice these words on a regular basis. Making flashcards, using them as bonus words for practice spelling tests, having your child find them in books at home, and writing them in sentences are some ideas for making practicing these important words fun!
