- Progress Reports were sent home on Friday. Please contact me if you have any questions.
- Starting next week, word sorts will now be sent home every other week to allow more 
   opportunities for practice. I strongly encourage you to have your child cut out and sort 
   the words a couple of times at home. "More practice makes progress".

- Day 100 is now slated to fall on Monday, Feb. 9. Please send in your 100 piece 
   snack at that time.
