Each Monday your child will bring home a Family Times newsletter that will give you information about the week's story and what we will be learning about. There is also a game for you to play to review one of our skills. You may also want to access the Pearson web site for more information. You will need your log in name and password that was sent home in a letter in September. To find out specifically what we are studying each week be sure to check the Ettinger Express.
