Dear Parents,                                                                                                  
There is a correction to the skills schedule. This week we are focusing on cause and effect instead of context clues. This is the ability to identify one event causes another to happen. There are activities on Destination Success and I will send home some practice sheets Friday.

 
Thank you to those of you that have sent in some of the supplies we need in the classroom. We are still low on soap. If you are able to send in some refill bottles, that would be best. We are also low on cap erasers. Thank for in advance for all you do for our classroom.
Reminders                                                                                                                                                  
-         Be sure to be sending in box tops when ever you have them. They are a great source of money for our school. 
-         Make sure if your student is giving cards on Valentine's Day that have one for everyone in the class. 
-         Make sure you are checking over homework assignments with your student every night. Please sign the planners daily.
