News and Notes
· I will let you know the exact cost of the class shirts as soon as we find out what that will be.

· Our class has been asked to perform a skit at Trinity’s (Vallonia) 10th Annual Fish Fry on Sunday, September 11th. This will be sometime around 5:00; more details will come. If you know your child will NOT be able to attend, please let me know ASAP so we can start planning our presentation.
· This week in reading, we are learning how good readers have a conversation with their book while reading it. It would be great practice for your child to read a book with you, and the two of you can share your thoughts, questions, etc.
· Reminder: No School on Monday (Labor Day). Have a blessed weekend!
· Help Sessions will start on Tuesdays and Thursdays next week. If you would like your child to stay for either or both days to receive extra help, please let me know.
