Please
be advised that Open House and the book fair will take place on
Tuesday at 6:30-8:00 p.m. The children were so disappointed with
the cancellation yesterday, but so happy today to hear that it will
go on!! Let's hope we maintain some dry weather from here on in!!
Monday is Earth Day! If your child has an Earth Day shirt, this would be the day to wear it. If not, greens, blues, or any "earthy" color would be fun to wear on Monday.

Spelling: Lesson 24 – Pretest Monday, Test Friday. HW for “regular” spelling words: Write a story using (at least) 15 of the words and ABC order. HW for “challenge” spelling words: 2 challenge activities.
