Notes:

* On Monday, your child will be bringing home an issue of National Geographic Kids magazine. Students should read the article 'Mars Mysteries' and answer the 5 questions on the yellow paper with complete sentences. This assignment is due on Friday, 9/24.

* If your child is struggling with the weekly spelling words, please take 5 minutes each night to go over them. Or, your child can practice the words on the Spelling City website. We go over them a few times in school, but some children need much more practice with the words than we are able to do in school. Thank you for your help. www.spellingcity.com
