I sent home a packet of important papers today; I hope you had a chance to look at them.  They
included your child's progress report, September newsletter, permission slip for the field trip,
permission for the maturation program, and the Back to School Bash.  Please sign and return the permission slips.

August Reading Planner:  I apologize for miscalculating the reading time for August.  If your child read 300 minutes, s/he earned full credit.  If more than that was read, I gave extra credit (unless it was turned in late, then no extra credit was given).   For September, I expect students to read 600 minutes.

Students are enjoying the Kindles.  They are fun to read.  We have only six of them, but each student should be able to check one out every six weeks of so.   

I hope the newsletter your child brought home explained all of the above activities.  If you still have questions, please contact me.

Happy Birthday this month to Allie Nielsen!  We are lucky to have her in our class.

I am really enjoying your children.  This is a hard working and respectful group of students.
Thanks for sharing them with me this year.
