Ms. Dailey's  Class Newsletter                                                                 Wednesday, October 23, 2016                                        

Hi  Parents and Guardians,

     Due to Hurricane Matthew, school will be closed for the next 3 days.  While I'm excited to spend some extra time with my family,  I  will miss  having instructional time with my  students.  I'm sending out a few resources that you can use to help your child better grasp  math concepts  and   build their reading skills.  

     I know there is a lot of information below but the instructional time we are loosing is precious.  Please let me know if you have any questions!

Sincerely, 

Ms. Dailey
