Our special student this week is Ella DeRuiter!  Ella has 5 siblings.  She will turn 7 in May and her favorite book is Biscuit.  Ella’s goals are to learn a lot and have a good school year! She loves unicorns and the cartoon My Little Pony. J

SPELLING WORDS:

Our spelling test will be on Friday this week!  The spelling homework is not due until then! J

READING FOLDERS:

Keep up the GREAT job reading at night!  I have been testing reading levels this week and many have gone up a box or two to the next letter!  I haven’t been able to check their sight word booklets yet because of this.  That will come soon!  I may only get to the sight word booklets once every few weeks.
