Dear Mom,

   I drop food in breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So I wanted a Tasmanian T Devil. I heard that T Devils eat rotten stuff and are nature’s recyclers. It can eat the food on the floor so ants don’t get in the house. Also you don’t have to get on the floor and clean it up.

                                                                                                                       Your son,

                                                                                                                                 Samuel

 
Those of you that use Spellingcity.com as a resource, please be aware that I have made some changes. Instead of having one sight word list, I have now created 7 lists of about 25 words each. I figured that this way, it would be easier for students to practice words that the are having difficulty with. Remember that you can also create a parent account or type out words that your son/daughter needs to practice on the homepage.  Spellingcity.com is an excellent site, hope you are using it at home. :)

 
Dear parents,
It's the middle of the year and the students are running out of pencils!  Please purchase pencils for your son/daughter if they need them.
Thank you,
Mrs. Mendoza

I will be giving the middle of the year TPRI test this Wednesday (January, 12, 2011). Please remember to send your son/daughter to bed early on Tuesday night so that they are well rested the next day. Results will be sent to you soon after they are uploaded into the computer. Please check back later for more updates and information.

Thank you,
Mrs. Mendoza

Hi Parents! As you know, we do a lot of work in our journals and this requires A LOT of glue sticks. So if you can buy your son/daughter some spare glue sticks or donate a few for the class it would be very helpful.
Thank you!

Parents, don't forget that you can check your son's/daughter's grades online! If you have a computer at home with internet access, you can go to www.episd.org and click on TEAMS Parent Portal on the right side. The page will guide you in creating an account to view their grades online.
