Happy 6th birthday, Lydia.

Happy 6th birthday, Connor.

Kindergarten doesn't do the pumpkin run as a class.  If you would like to run with your child, you can pick a time and return this slip.  It looks like this and is in your child's folder today.

We wrote the first sentence and part of the second sentence together.  Then the students came up with their own ideas to finish the sentence and used their sound spelling.
