Please put this list in a handy spot and have your child practice reading through the words a couple of times each day. 
Spelling:  Your child’s new spelling list is attached to this letter.
Bookbags:  Thanks for helping your child retell the stories he/she is reading at home.  I am already noticing nice improvement when we retell stories at school.   
Math:   This week, we are learning to make change from $5.00 and $10.00.  To do this, we start with the cost of the item and count up to either $5 or $10.  Please take a few minutes each night to practice this skill with your child.
Library:  We return to the library this Thursday.  Please make sure all books are returned so that more may be checked out.
Mark Your Calendar:
 Fun To Be Fit Day is in the afternoon on Friday, June 1.
 Track and Field Day is Friday, June 8.
Have a great week!
