Leaving Early
If your child is leaving early for break,
please let me know if you have not done so
already. We are having our math test on
Friday, so they must write it early (on
Thursday) if they will be absent. I hope
everyone has a wonderful break. I will see
you back on Monday, January 4th.

learn more about and create a small
presentation on their learning.
