Hi Moms and Dads,

Bentley Parker has graciously volunteered to host the Easter Egg Hunt at her home.  Thank you Bentley!  The children are looking forward to the egg hunt.  

This week:  April 4 - 8
- introduce short "u" word family
- review short "e" word family
- new word - "are"
- Phonetic readers -  short "u" and "e"
- "ug" bug make-n-take readers
- Eric Carle reading activities - The Very Hungry Caterpillar andThe Grouchy Ladybug
- Money - coin counting games and activities
-Resurrection Eggs with Bible references


We will be  giving the  ITBS (standardized test) this week.  We will administer it each morning.  The time frame is from 30 to 40 minutes, most days.  Please make sure your child has plenty of rest each night and a healthy breakfast each morning.  Send an extra #2 pencil.  This is a time when we will use our "thinking boxes".  This is a low stress situation.  Encourage your child to listen to directions and do their best!

Thank you for your support and encouragement!  We are looking forward to a great week!  You continue to be a blessing to me.


In Christ,

Mary McDavid
