Happy Friday, parents! We are off to a great start this school year. I really enjoy working with your child, and I know it is going to be a fantastic year. Today, your child will bring home his or her Friday folder and choice card. Please make sure they return this to school on Monday. Also, please make sure you sign the choice card. Enclosed in your child's Friday folder is a reading program bookmark. The reading program is no longer about how many minutes read, but about how many entire books are read. Your child's goal this month is to read four books. Please let me know if you have any questions about the program.

I hope each of you has a wonderful weekend!

Lauren W. Ehlers, Ed.S.
