We have made it to the week before Christmas break! Please send your child with 2 plastic grocery bags as we will be cleaning out our desks on Wednesday and will need a place to put our supplies. We will also have our class book exchange on Wednesday. Please have your child bring a wrapped new or gently used book to class. If you would like to join us for our class celebration, it will be on Wednesday from 10-11:30. A sign-up genius was sent last week.
And that will be a wrap on the first half of the school year! I wish you and your family a joyous holiday season and a happy new year!
