GRACE DONATIONS

Every year, we team up with Grace Grapevine to help stock their food pantry.

Toothbrushes

The Grade with the most donations each month will get an extra recess. Thank you for supporting Grace and our community!

Reading Homework

The only reading homework your child has is to read for 20-30 minutes each night. We talk a lot in class about how we can not grow as learners if we don't practice. By reading each night, we can grow as readers. If your child is struggling to find a "good fit" book, please let me know so I can assist them in finding a book. Also, ask your child how they are doing on the GCISD Reads program.

Library-Your child's library books were due on Friday, May 13. Please ask your child if they have returned all their library books. Mrs. Irwin will hand your child a reminder if they have not sent in all books.
