Pillar of Character for the month of April....

               

Fairness:                                                                                                                                         Do you play by the rules.

Do you take turns and share.

When you disagree, do you try to see the other person's side.

Do you speak up if you know something is unfair.

Spelling Tests                                 
First grade will begin spelling tests in October. Students will
bring 10 words home a week. The first eight

words are teacher choice. Please have your child study
these each night. Tests will be on Friday.
