summary

This week is a very short week, only Monday and Tuesday. This means that there will be no school on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. Because of the short week there will also be no grammar test or spelling words for this week. Enjoy this time with your family!

The kids have worked very hard and have made it to our next reward. They have planned to do a slime day. I will provide all materials needed but if they would like to bring in extras (like glitter or other slime-related materials) they are more than welcome to bring them in.

A few reminders:

There is no school November 27-29th.

Picture retakes are coming up on December 4th.
