What are we working on? LanguageMath-Fact Families Social Studies-Holidays First, Next, Then, Finally

Next Monday we will be wrapping up a lot of units before the holiday break. Because of this, we will be having 2 tests (math, and reading). Please keep in mind that the tests will be spread through out the day as to not overwhelm your child. However, there will be no spelling or word wall words next week. I will not be sending a newsletter home next week either.

I want to take this time to let you know how blessed I am this year. I have a wonderful class full of students willing to learn and parents that are very supportive! We have come a long way this year, and it would not have happened if it were not for the support of our families. I received a great complement the other day, another staff member in the building commented on how our class has really grown and how much their behavior improved since the beginning of the school year. Thank you for everything!
