We made a preview visit to the Book Fair today and your children wrote down their favorites with prices. You may use this list if you attend the Book Fair on Family Night, Tuesday, 5:30-8:30 p.m. If you cannot attend on Tuesday, you may wish to send your child's shopping/wish list back to school on Wednesday with money to purchase books. That is the day we will revisit the Fair to make our purchases. Please don't send any money until Wednesday.
Thanks.
I spoke with the children today about the class' general decline in the appearance of their handwriting. We are writing more and more, and most are easily able to keep up, but it's disappointing to see that many who arrived in 1st grade with beautiful printing have become a little sloppy, especially when it comes to printing their names. Some are in a rush to finish early. It's important to find the right balance between speed and neatness. I told the children that I will soon be using their work in grammar and other subjects to assess their handwriting as well as the work they do in their handwriting books. Please encourage them to do their best both at home and at school.
