In Our Class This Week...

Please be sure to check your child's backpack everyday to clean it out and look at important papers.

Many parents have asked if our class is in need of any items. Here are some items our class can use as our supplies begin to run low:
Glue Sticks
Kleenex

Be sure to check out our Shutterfly page for our latest classroom pictures. If you would like access, please email me for a special invite.

Don't forget to use SMARTYPANTS at home. This new, fun reading program can be accessed at home. All students received their log in information last month. If you have any question, let me know.

If you have any question or concerns please feel free to email me, text back to the reminders I set or stop by the classroom.
