Hi Parents and Students,
Please forgive me for the old post that you see from the previous year. I am trying to erase them.
I sent home a papers that need to be signed and return by tomorrow or the latest Friday. I also sent home a permission form that gives me permission to put pictures of your child on the blog and allows them to use the blog during computer time.
You will also see a letter for donations from 30-50 dollars. If you can't afford that, I am willing to take a lower amount because I understand that times are hard for everyone.
Please read over the information letter that provides an outline of all my expectation for this school year.
On the left I provided the vocabulary and spelling words for lesson one of our Storytown series. We will have our first weekly test on Friday August 20th.
We had a great time in Science today. The students learned the name of a substance scientist use to make diapers! Polysodimacrylate!
