Reminders:

Please send your kiddos to school with a water bottle. This saves time on trips to the fountain and lines. It makes our water breaks super easy-peezy! 

Sight words and spelling words are sent home during the week for students to practice and they are in this blog for your convenience. Practicing at home builds their reading skills! Thank you for making this a part of your routines at home. 

The school website has important dates and information. If I forget to include something here, you might be able to find it there. If you need to know about dates, there is a calendar there as well. I love our website!  http://sonshinechristian.org/

You are an amazing group of parents and I am so thankful to teach your kiddos! They are working hard as we learn more and explore new continents this year. We are studying South America. If you have anything to share about this continent or its' countries with our students, please contact me. We would love it!
