Our comprehension skill is character.  We will learn that authors tell us what story characters are like by what a character says, feels, and does.

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

PTO Theme Baskets:  The PTO is having a theme basket fundraiser.  The theme for our basket is snacks.  Attached you will find a letter explaining what we need for our basket.  Please send donations to school by Friday, January 18. 

Shoes:  Now that boot season is here, please make sure your child has shoes with him/her every day.  You may want to have your child keep an extra pair of old shoes in his/her locker.  Also, please take a few minutes to review how to tie shoes with your child.  This will help everyh one be ready and in the classroom on time in the morning and after our recesses.

Library:  We return to the library on Monday.  Please make sure all books are returned so that more may be checked out.

Reminder:  Please make sure your child has appropriate clothing for outside recess: warm jacket, snowpants, boots, hat, and gloves.  I would also recommend that you send an extra pair of mitttens and socks for your child to keep in his/her backpack.  Then your child will have dry feet and hands for every recess.  Thanks.

Have a great weekend!
