Hello All,

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year! I am very excited to work with your child this year! I blog every week and I include our spelling words for the following week and information going on at LPA. If you have any questions or concerns, you can email me at foxj@comcast.net or call the school (520) 721- 4205 and leave a message for me and I will call you back as fast as I can.

The first two days of school we will be going over policies, rules and procedures. We will be doing a limited amount of work so I can slowly ease the children into 2nd grade. We will also be getting to know our new friends.

The first spelling test will be Friday, August 19. The spelling words are pay, play, for, fort, sing, spring, fat, flat, bed, bend, cap, camp. The spelling test will also have 3 or 4 bonus words each week. The bonus words are: band, brand, dive, drive. Please help your child study each week for the spelling test so they have be successful!

Have a great week and I look forward to meeting all your children this Thursday, August 11 for the first day of school!!!
