Special Announcements
*Students must take one AR test a week. It needs to be written on their AR sheet. This is the only way I know that they have read the book and are ready to take a test over it. It also helps students keep track of what books they have already taken a test over. If you misplace the AR sheet, please let me know.
*Watch for a note about the Christmas party gift exchange to come home this week.
*Do you have Monday afternoon free? I’m looking for a few volunteers to help with first grade computers on Monday afternoon from 2:20-3:00. If you can use the internet, you can help! Please contact me if you would like to volunteer.
