Notes from the Teacher:

-As you know I have been sending home vocabulary words along with the one breath boxes and I also have been sending home reading books in a baggie. The baggies contain reading logs that need to be signed and returned on Thursdays.  The vocabulary words should also be practiced daily and returned by Thursday.  The children are doing so well on those one breath boxes!  I can tell they’ve been practicing!  J
