This is a good time to have a discussion with your child about how many extras he/she may purchase each day or each week. As a parent, you may send in a note for the café manager stating your request. For example, “My child may have 1 extra per day and ice cream on Wednesday.” Upcoming tests & assignments Superkids- Spelling- Unit 1 Week 2- Friday August 26th Math- Topic 1 Test- Wednesday August 31st (subject to change) Reminder: Reading Log is due (with parent signature) every Friday!  Website of the Week Spelling City ~ www.spellingcity.com In addition to the nightly homework, your child can also practice spelling words on SpellingCity.com.
