This is not my typical post because I am writing this on a Sunday evening. Just wanted to remind all the parents that we are signing up for book talks for card marking number 2 TOMORROW. So ask your child what day next week they will be presenting. Also, their book project is due on Monday, January 13th. The end of the card marking is fast approaching. I do take late assignments so make sure you both look on Student Connect/ Parent Connect and double check that your son/daughter does not have any missing assignments. We will be NWEA testing the week of January 13th in Reading for my class.

Thank you for all the wonderful gifts before break! I loved each and every one of them. My heart is so full knowing what wonderful students I get to teach every single day and what terrific parents I have that are always so supportive!

Happy New Year to ALL! See you tomorrow! Mrs. Doner
