Vacation!


I hope you all enjoy your time off! I was a little sad to not be able to see you all and wish you a happy holiday. The snow is fun though. I will see you January 5!

It's time to start state testing! We will begin on Monday 12-8 and go through the week. Our time is 9-9:45 daily. We will be working on reading, then math. During this week the only homework will be reading and basic facts practice. Please make sure your child get enough rest and breakfast so they can be ready to go!

Great job on the candle sales. We raised over $4000 for our field trip in April. We will be sending home forms and information on how much money your child will need after winter vacation. Looking forward to a great time:)

We will also be saying goodbye to Miss Wells next week. She has been an amazing help to our class this year. We will all miss her and wish her well in her teaching career.
