We have a very short week this week. There is no school on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Some parents have asked for homework so I am going to send home some math practice.

Students should be reading daily for 20-30 minutes. Please ask your child to tell you what they are reading about. 

Students can use Raz kids- reading, Freckle -math, reading, and Zearn- math as well. 

I was very sorry to have to miss the concert. I understand that the children did a wonderful job!! 

I have started using Class Dojo mostly as a means to communicate with parents. I am new to Dojo but will try to answer any questions you may have about it. 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
