September 16th-20th

We will review letters Nn-Qq and continue number review 0-20 this week. We are reviewing sight words daily. Please make flashcards and practice at home! We will add new words quickly, so be sure to reinforce these at home. New word today: had. There is a pre-decodable book in backpacks today. Please listen to your child read it and return tomorrow.

MUFFINS WITH MOM is Friday morning before school. Please see that your child is to class by 7:55. Enjoy!

We will not have a pep rally this week. The Patriots will play Lakeside in Eufaula at 7:00. Go Pike!!

Grandparents' Day is Friday, Sept. 27th for grades K4-6th. There will be a special program for K4-4th grades beginning at 10:00 in the cafetorium. Each grade will present a song or poem for the Grandparents. Due to limited space and seating, we set aside this day for Grandparents only. We ask that Grandparents remain seated for the entire program. After the program, the Grandparents will be dismissed to visit the classrooms.  The 5th/6th grade program will follow at 11:00. Please be sure to remind Grandparents that plan to attend. Grandparents are welcome to check your child out for the remainder of the day, but they must sign out through the classroom teacher. I will be sending a check out note home closer to time. Please fill out and return by the deadline.  Thank you for allowing us to share in a special Grandparents' Day with your family.
