Spring is "springing"

Lovely way to start the week weather-wise, I think it will be different tomorrow. The playground is quite muddy, we will need rubber boots for awhile.
Since we had no homework last week, we will have the "Easter" spelling words this week. Please see that your child is reading every night.
Book orders are due tomorrow, but I will wait until Wednesday to send in the order. "Jump Rope for Heart" is starting this week, please read the accompanying slip of paper explaining the rules.
We have started working on "comprehension" exercises in preparation for our May Literacy Assessment. Please be asking your child questions about the stories they are reading. Talk to them about predicting outcomes and "reading between the lines".
"Small Ball" is starting soon. I will send more info on that as we receive it.
Enjoy your week.
