Students are beginning to settle in for the school year as we head into our third week of school.
We will continue to read and examine folktales from different parts of the world this next week. Students will take their first test in ELA on Thursday on folktales. We also have our first media center class visit later this week, and we will go to the media center every other week thereafter. Please encourage your child to check out books to read at home and to complete all work in class each day, such as our daily Starter along with all other assigned work.  Thank you for your support!
