Weekly Newsletter


Mrs. Ginn’s First Grade Newsletter – December 2, 2013

We are starting something new in spelling this week.  I am giving a pretest on Monday so you can see how well your child understands the phonics skill and words for the week.  If your child gets all the words correct I will send home an enrichment list for them. 

 

Please make sure your child is practicing their part in the Christmas program at home.  Our play is next week and they need the extra practice at home.  Thank you for your help!
