A Note from Mrs. Danley...
Dear Parents,
Your childs Progress Report will come home next Monday, April
24th. Please sign and return and I will send home a colored copy for you
to keep. Please also return the field trip permission slip for our trip to
the Jule Collins Museum if you havent done so already. We are looking
forward to visiting the Art Museum soon!
Remember that your child will be taking a very important assess-
ment next week on the 25th and 26th, the STI Assessment. We will
not have a Wonders reading story or spelling words next week due to
this two day testing time. However, we will have a Rooted in Reading
story, Catching the Moon, and vocabulary words.
Mrs. Danley :)
