Homework this week-

Parents,

There will not be any paperwork sent home for homework this week! However, I would like for your child to continue to read for 15 minutes every night. We need this!

I will be sending a book home with the book pocket. Please complete and return by Friday in the red folder. Thank you for making reading a priority!
