Miscellaneous:
Please have your child write 2 sentences instead of one this week. They need to be related in some way. ie "I have a dog. His name is Max."

Don't forget to read each night for 20 minutes. Each month needs to have a total of 400 minutes.

There are still students coming to school not dressed appropriately for the weather. PLEASE send your child with a COAT. Mr. Whittier likes for the students to be outside for recess if at all possible, even when it is cold outside. They need the break with the fresh air and sunshine! It helps them be ready to learn. If they are cold because they don't have a coat, they are miserable.
