Tuesday's Agenda

Thanks to all the parents that came to Stand and Clap this morning. I know it isn't easy to take off of work, we really appreciate your support. For my AM class we did miss whole group reading and writing due to the ceremony but we will get caught up tomorrow. Tonight some reading groups have a stop sticky note in their books. I want them to stop reading there. Their books are longer this week and I don't want them to have to read more than their 20 minutes. Please continue to study spelling words since we will have a test this Friday! Great job on DOL quizzes too! We are seeing a lot more O's than before Spring Break. Have a great rest of your day!
