in the gym. Hope to see you there!

and be over before you know it. I sent home AR updates on Thursday.
-EVERY Wednesday is now Spirit Day. Let your child wear orange and blue and
show their Capshaw Spirit!
-Don't forget to send back the "My Week" Sheet every day.
-Please make sure your child has their headphones as we will start using them
as we go to computer lab and use the laptops in our room.
-Please review words for the story "Fun With Fish" in your child's
reading vocabulary folder (came home Friday). Send it to school every
Thursday to be checked and I will send it back home with the next group of
words marked.
Don't forget snack and water bottles! Only water should be in your child's
water bottle. They may bring a drink for snack or lunch only.
