Hi Parents!

We are starting the ice cream challenge- instead of regular 5 star homework there is the challenge of reading 12 books to earn an ice cream reward. We will have the ice cream reward on May 19th. Please see the letter (yellow) and the attached scoops for more details. Unless you haven’t mastered all the first grade sight words, you do not have any vocabulary or 2nd grade words to study. If you do have words, your test will be on Friday. We will still be going over phonics and the phonics list was sent home (it is orange this week) Phonics test will be on Friday too. Baggy books can be used for scoops which is why there is not a baggie book reading log. All baggy books are due by Friday for buddy reading.

 

I hope to see some of you at the Big Shanty Festival. Please see KES chorus and Grasshoppers on the different stages on Saturday.

Mr. Grecko and my son, Alex will be flipping burgers for the Boys Scouts 510 (stop by and grab a meal and say hi) on Saturday.

My daughter Hannah will be marching with the Allatoona Band in the parade in the morning on Saturday.

Mrs. Grecko will be out and about the festival! See you soon.
