Brownies

Thanks so much to those of you who have volunteered to help make brownies on Friday.  We have enough volunteers and I appreciate your quick response. 

Thanks also for donating supplies!  We can still use some flour, margarine, or unsweetened chocolate.  If you have these I would love it if you sent them our way. :-)  

The kids are excited and I appreciate all your help. 

Spelling Words

The spelling words for the week of January 28- February 1 are:

sorry, press, God, god, teacher, November, subject, April, history, study, himself, matter, use, thought, person, nor, or, January, mean, vote, court, copy, act, been, be, yesterday, among, question, quest, doctor

Cursive

Your child will begin learning cursive penmanship this grading period. Because of this, you will see cursive practice in the homework folder for the next few weeks. The focus is on quality and not on quantity.  The assingment will be to write a few perfect letters and not to write several mediocre letters.  If you notice your child struggling or needing extra help, please email me. lbateman@edisoncs.org

Thanks again for your support at home!
