Please send a note in agenda if your child is not to run. This would then mean they cannot participate in Gym class with Mrs. O either. Thanks for your cooperation. Most kids love running to the music, but I find some feel they can get some attention from friends if they have a reason not to run.
3. Spelling corrections- due Friday. Also, Friday= Spelling test.
4. Gather skates for friday!
5. Math and Reading booklets started with TOC and continued today- due Friday.

Some students have been asked to redo this week to improve their marks. Weekly corrections can be done at school as time is given. Some students are ignoring this and are getting behind. Spelling is a red duotanga and you can ask your child to show you!
6. Candy for Kids! Optionally send in...thanks for your generosity and encouragement to your kids to give to those less fortunate. Food and candy will go on Friday to charity.
