Dear Parents and Students,
We are beginnning to study about Mexico! Everyone is very excited.
Please help your child to stay on track up until the end of the year by seeing that he/she gets plenty of rest and a good breakfast each morning.
It is important that you read with your child each day. Let her/him read aloud to you and encourage her/him to read independently.
Also, each Friday I will send home a packet of graded papers with a note for parents to sign stating that you have received the papers. Please sign it and return it to me on Monday.
If you have any questions please call me.
Sincerely,
Debra Johnson
