Reading A-Z books: A new routine will be happening each Tuesday for the remainder of the school year. I’m sending your student’s Reading A-Z book home to be read and studied with you before the quiz on Wednesday. (Make sure the book is returned on Wednesday morning in the homework folder.)

Autobiography: Please help your student fill out the autobiography paper and return on Tuesday, April 19.

Now we’re onto another book and need that information plus some more. The students love hearing about themselves. Thanks for your help!
