Our comprehension skill is summarizing.  A summary of a story tells in a few sentences what the story is about.  A summary includes the important ideas such as character, setting, problem, and important events at the beginning, middle, and end of the story.  As you read with your child at home, please ask him/her to give you a summary of the story.

Spelling:  Your child’s new list is attached to this letter.

Math Test:  We will be having a math test next Thursday.  Please look for the study guide which will be sent home by next Wednesday.  The best way you can help your child be ready for the test is to check over his/her math homework every night and practice any items with which your child might be having difficulty.

PTO Theme Baskets:  The PTO is having a theme basket fundraiser.  The theme for our basket is snacks.  If you are able to donate any items, please send your donations to school by Friday, January 18.  Also, please continue to save box tops.  These are also a great source of funds for our school. 

Reminder:   School will dismiss at 1:45 on Thursday and Friday.

Have a great weekend!
