A picture order form for school pictures is coming your way today. If you would like to order pictures, send in your order form by THURSDAY!
Have your child think of something "farm" related (farmer, farmer wife, or any farm animal) to celebrate our farm unit. We will be dressing up and having a "hay" day on Friday! :)
We are going to have a "Grandparents Day Celebration" on September 9th. An invitation will be coming home with your child this week to send to their grandparents. This will be a fun experience for everyone!
I also sent a letter and order form for Scholastic Books with your kiddo today. (It was a busy day!) If you would like to order books for your child, you may place the order online or send the order back to school. Due date is September 28th. This is a great way for us to expand our classroom library (the more books you buy, the more points our class gets to buy classroom books).
AND, as always, don't forget to check out our new SPELLING WORDS on the spelling tab
