please email me.

 It is helpful for my planning to know ahead, thank you!

Our class has an assigned block of time Wednesday morning for your child to purchase books from the Book Fair.  If you would like your child to shop at school, please send the money that your child has to spend in their Home/School Folder on Wednesday.  Another option is Family Night.  All are welcome to come and shop 4-6:30 pm on Wednesday.

The cold weather is here.  Please remember we go outside daily whenever possible, so warmer clothes are needed.  When your child wears boots to school (due to rain or snow), please have a pair of shoes available (no slippers please). The boots will stay in your child's locker and clean shoes will help keep our carpet and classroom floor dry.  If you have an extra pair of sneakers they can stay in your child's locker rather than travel back and forth daily.  It is up to your family.  You are also welcome to leave an extra pair of snow pants at school.  There is room indoor child's locker.
