LAST WEEK OF THE QUARTER!
Parent teacher conference notes are going home this week! Please pick a time and day that works best for you and I will set a schedule and post it. I look forward to meeting with all of you.
Wednesday, October 31st we are having a class incentive party for good behavior for the past two months. The students have requested a potluck party. We will be watching a movie and enjoying food the students bring in. We will make a list of food choices to be sure there is a variety. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Here is what is happening this week:
