Weekly News: September 23-27 Happy Autumn! Though it may not feel like it outside, this week we will be reading and writing all about fall.  Please remember to bring your book bags to school every day. The papers and books inside your book bag are to be worked on every night at home and returned to school in your book bag so that we can work on them every day at school. Starting this week I will begin our guided reading groups where we will be working on specific reading strategies to prepare/help your child learn how to read! Without their book bag, they will miss out on following along with their own materials and will not have opportunities to take books home. Please be sure they have this with them everyday. Our field trip is THIS WEDNESDAY! On Wednesday, come to school wearing your ILCS shirt (or any other blue shirt) and some good walking shoes. You do not need to bring folders, book bags, or lunch boxes this day (unless you are staying for electives). We will boar
