Week 6: October 1 - 5

Good Evening Parents,  
Progress reports was sent home today in your child's Tuesday folder. Please sign and return. Most of you have already returned the permission slip (and donated $10) for our first field trip to the Houston Zoo on October 15th, but if you haven't please do so as soon as you can. 

A big "Thank You" to the following parents who have agreed to come along with us on our trip to the Houston Zoo in a few Weeks: Danielle M., Cheryl S., Susie W., Scelina A., and Liezel S.! 

I am also asking for a donation of $5 per child so that we can purchase a “Times for Kids” subscription for each student. We use these to supplement our nonfiction instruction.  The children usually love reading them.

Please remember that tomorrow (Wednesday) is an Early Dismissal Day.  

For the next two weeks (Oct 1-12), in the following subjects we will be working on…
Reading: Facts and details, cause and effect
