Week of September 26 - September 30th

It is hard to believe that we are  heading into our last week of September. Thank you for reviewing and signing the progress report that was sent home. Thank you also to all of the parents that have provided snacks. I so appreciate it. The exciting news for this next week is that we now have class pets.  I adopted  2 Red Slider turtles and they are now in the room. I am sure the students will enjoy them. If you have not done so already,please take the time to complete the parent sign up form for parent conferences. If you have signed up, I  will e-mail you this week confirming your time but I believe at this point you will get your first choice.  This week will be Education Go Get it Week. Here is the schedule of events for the week.
