Attached to the newsletter is the reading log. We had only 7 students turn them in on last Monday. It is very important that you are reading to your child every night. Also, please keep and make copies of your child’s name practicing worksheet. If any part of the last name is wrong, please let me know. This is how your child will be writing their first and last name. In addition, attached are the numbers 1-20 attached.

Thank you to the following parents for volunteering their time to attend out field trip: Valecia (Janai’s Mom), Faith (Angie’s Mom), Tri (Shayla’s Dad), and Patrick (Ryan’s Dad). We could not have done it without you. I hope your student has told you all about our amazing field trip to Sabino Canyon. Our class got to be geologists, found and played with magnetite, went on a nature hike, touched different types of animal skins, and played prey and predator with rubber animals.
