Here are a few reminders for this week:   *  We will not be learning a new sound but we will be reviewing our vowels and the sounds they make.  So there will be no Show and Tell on Friday this week.       *  The penny drive is now under way to help raise money for the Roots of Empathy program.  We will be collecting pennies all week.         *  There will be no pencil/paper homework from here on in but students are still asked to do their reading each night.  This will help with fluency and expression.     *  Students who brought in their permission slips for the Go for 42 walks at lunch time are able to participate on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
