Week of September 16, 2019

Dear Families,

Thank you to our parent helpers in the makerspace today: Erika, Sonya, Brandie, Preveena, Amanda, and Lisa.  The students had a good time creating their own foil art. You can see them on your child’s seesaw account.

We lost electricity at school for about 30 minutes, so that was a bit exciting!  Luckily most of the time was during snack recess. Thank you, Brandie (Jonathan's mom), for bringing in lanterns, just in case.

This Friday, I will send home our first homework packet.  It will be due the following Friday, September 27th. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thank you for preparing your child for their share assignment this week.  We enjoyed learning about all the rules and why they are important. This coming week, our sharing assignment is an item.  Please help your child prepare three clues. Students can keep their sharing in their backpack, in a paper or reusable bag until it’s sharing time.

I hope you have a nice weekend.
