WEEK 7

Our grade level is looking for parent volunteers to work in the Read Naturally computer lab. We are in need of volunteers for Tuesday, Thursday, & Friday 12:20-12:50 p.m. You would be working with 3rd grade students on a reading intervention based computer program. You could pick one day or all three days. If you are willing to help, we need you to commit to that/those day/s and be here on time to help these students. Please contact me if you are available!

Library Books

We have a new rule: Students are NOT allowed to buy popcorn on Friday if they have missing library books. The concept is: if you are responsible enough to remember popcorn money, then you are responsible enough to remember your library books!

Pencils
