Weekly Update 08/12/11

Wow! This has been a fantastic start to the school year! I have really enjoyed getting to know your child, and I am looking forward to working together to make sure your child has a fantastic year! This blog will be updated weekly to keep you informed about the things that are going on in the classroom. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at awhisman@brownsburg.k12.in.us or 852-1062 ext. 1266.

Important Announcements:
*We will be making collages in writing next week. If you have any old magazines that you do not want anymore (make sure they are school appropriate, please!), feel free to send them in with your child starting on Monday.

*Homework will be assigned next week! Make sure to check your child’s assignment notebook and red folder frequently.

*If you have not sent in a clean sock or dry erase markers with your child, please do so by Monday.
*Spelling pre-test will be given on Monday. The words were sent home today. If your child scores 100%, he/she will be moved to the alternate list. Those words will be sent home on Monday.
