Welcome to 1st Grade!!

• Its Still HOT!!
• As you know the temperatures are still sky high!
  We need to make sure the kids are still protected
  from the heat as much as possible! Time outside
  will be monitored, but if a water bottle could be
  provided to help keep them hydrated it would be a
  HUGE help!!

• Welcome to our new class! I am very excited to
  get this year started! I will have a web site set
  up so you will always be able to view updated
  information if needed. If you have any questions
  do not hesitate to give me a call!
• You can reach me through my email
  cuenlm1_at_yahoo.com or by phone [phone]
• We are going to have our specials everyday from
  900 to 950. Homework will be due every Thursday
  morning, followed by our Spelling practice Test!
  Our final test will by held on Friday mornings
  for students who did not pass Thursday! I
  encourage you to help your child study their
  words. Dont forget about Open House Night!! It
  is scheduled for Thursday August 12th at 600pm
  !! Hope to see you there!!
