Hi Families!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I wanted to send a
quick reminder that this Friday is field trip Friday. Students can wear their
red field trip shirt (or any red t-shirt) and jeans. Please remember our
healthy school lunch policy when packing their lunch and snacks. We do not
offer school lunch on field trip days. If you are chaperoning, I will send out
an email regarding Friday’s details soon. I also wanted to let you know that I
will be out all next week. Because of this, I am also sending next week’s week
at a glance. As always, thank you for supporting your child’s education.
Here is our week at a glance for the next two weeks:
Riggs: Continuing multiletter phonograms, daily spelling
words! Please remember to go over your child’s spelling words with them every
night. They are tested every morning on their words. You can make it fun! Write
in shaving cream, pudding, bathroom markers, dry erase markers on the window,
etc. You can find their words in their Riggs notebook and planner.
