In Our Class This Week...

Good morning! I hope you all had a great week. We had a very busy week in our class. Learned so much but had fun doing it! Please continue to speak with your children about proper restroom use and please remind them to use the restroom before school, during recesses and after school. Thank you!

Lets get started with school news:

Please talk to your children about following directions on events like this and how to behave. You may also talk to them about the duck and cover process and another other information you feel your child may need to stay calm on this date and future drills. Thank you.

Our school will now have children input their lunch numbers on a key pad when receiving breakfast or hot lunch. Please practice with your child at home. I will be sending home a copy of the keypad with their lunch numbers in next week's homework packet. Please keep at home to practice daily (this will help lines go by faster). Thank you!
