Thank you to Ali Bazzi’s mom and Mahdi’s mom for volunteering to be our homeroom parents. We appreciate your support.

We are working on geography in Social Studies.  The students have a couple of favorite videos to share about the states and the world. It is amazing what they learn and the questions they come up with after we watch them.

Are there any parents that would be interested in being the parent contact person for my class?  I would love to have at least 2 parents if we can get some volunteers.  Think about it and let me know if you are interested.

Please remember to bring a bag lunch for the field trip.  I would try to bring it in a bag that can be thrown away.  No glass bottles please.

Dress for the weather.  It will be chilly tomorrow, the weather says around 62 for a high but it is colder in the morning.  Dress in layers for the trip.
