Classroom News/Updates
I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know your
children this week. They are all so smart, wellbehaved, kind, and eager to learn, all qualities
that make for a wonderful school year! As a
reminder, I will be sending out monthly
classroom newsletters to keep you informed of
what is going on in the classroom. As always, if
you have any questions, feel free to call, email,
or send me a note in your childs agenda.
Thanks and have a great week!
Note to parents: Please look over your childs agenda
each night, as it contains homework that needs to be
completed, forms that need to be signed, etc. Your child
will also be bringing home their blue Take Home
Tuesday, folder. Be sure to check for any important
school paperwork via this folder. This week, please be
sure to return the photo/video and internet consent
forms.
