Dear Parents/Guardians:

Important- As we have begun studying ornithology, we will occasionally be venturing outside to identify birds. Please check your child for ticks regularly!

Continue to read and discuss the elements of fiction with your child, review math facts, count money, and tell time to ensure your child has a quiet spot to complete their homework on a daily basis. Continue to promote a healthy, positive and responsible attitude toward school and schoolwork: you are their first and most important teacher! Don’t forget- STUDY ISLAND!

Many thanks for your continued support!

Sincerely,

Ann Griffith
