Miss Story's August 21st class newsletter included things to remember such as initialing assignment books daily, noting early release days every Friday, and sending lunch money in an envelope labeled with the student and teacher's name. The weekly spelling words focus on short a and long a patterns like a-consonant-e, ai and ay. In writing this week, students will practice multiplication with arrays. Science class will start a unit on rocks.

Things to remember:

establish a good connection between home and school.

teacher name on front.
