Coming home today is your child's graded paper folder. You can keep all of the papers, but please sign the blue sheet indicating that you have seen them and send that along with the folder back on Monday.
We have a field trip coming up! We are going to watch a movie about oceans and also one about the solar system at the 3D IMAX experience. The movies are fantastic!
Also coming home today are the student directories. These are helpful if your child needs to contact another student in the school.
A peek at our week:
