2011
Welcome back!
I have missed all of my sweet children and fabulous parents.
Please be prepared to begin the New Year with that great "Can Do" attitude.
Being prepared with the right supplies will enable your child to feel more comfortable. Yes, please relocate those blue and red folders.

A new reading log will be sent home on Tuesday. FYI, 10 minutes for each grade level. The 15 minute suggested time is for students reading on a 1.5 reading level. If your child is reading on a 2.5 grade level, they should be reading 25 minutes daily.
Writing journals will improve their writing skills and basic math facts can be sharpened by playing games with cards, puzzles, and board games. Computer driven games have a place in learning for quickness, however, board games, puzzles, and cards improve their logic and reasoning skills.

Mrs. Millican and Mrs. Kennedy would like to invite newly qualified Target students to attend an orientation, Thursday, January 6th, 2011 beginning at 6:30PM in the Media Center.
Students should also be prepared for Monday's first class with the following:
• 2 pocket folder with prongs
• Some notebook paper
• Pen – any color but black
• Sharpened pencils with good erasers
• Lunch or lunch money
• A nutritious snack (optional)

There are no assigned spelling words this week. We will review all previously learned words.
Report Cards will be distributed on Friday, January 7, 2010.
