2) Please dress appropriately for the outdoor weather on Thursday as we will be participating in some exciting outdoor activities.
3) Monday is Day 5 of our cycle.
4) Library is on Tuesday, Day 1.
5) Popcorn will be sold on Tuesday for $1.
6) If you drop off your child's lunch at school, please make sure that it is there by 1pm. Have your child plan their lunches with you so they know what they are getting and extra hands are always helpful! :)
7) Poetry Folders went home on Thursday and they are due back on Monday. We are talking about goals and how we can be more awesome then last year!
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or ask.
