HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

Than you to all the parents who remember to returned progress reports in! Two weeks is a long time... so if you forgot or misplaced the progress reports please let me know I can send home a second copy. Also, this week we will be testing for TRC Reading Levels and MPG Math benchmarks! 

Also, we made some rigor changes to Spelling homework. Be sure to check your child's spelling notebook. 

Thanks!
