Ms. Shelly's News Aug. 20

We have had library with Mrs. Julie and checked out our second book!  The students were so very excited about doing this. Our class will go to the library every other Tuesday beginning next week.  I have talked to the students about their books "home" being in their book bag and to keep it there when they are not using it. This helps to ensure they have their book when it is time to check out a new book.  Kindergarten students may only check out 1 book at a time. They may choose to leave it at school or pack it up each day.

We are asking each student to donate $10 to help cover the cost of the Scholastic Let's Find Out booklets your child will receive. If you already sent in the donation, we greatly appreciate your help!  Please send any money in a sealed envelope labeled with your child's name and what it is towards. We appreciate your contribution.

We took the MAP test for reading and math this week.  This test gives a baseline of where your student is at in their learning coming into Kindergarten.  They did a great job!
