NO SCHOOL Monday
As the weather gets colder, please make sure you send your child with a
jacket every day. The 9:40 recess is very chilly. If the day warms up
we will decide if students need a jacket for our 11:30 recess.
We have been discussing fire safety this week. We have also had a
fire drills this year to practice what we should do in this emergancy.
Please chat with your child about emergency numbers and your at
home fire safety plan.
Students have been doing great with their doubles facts. We
even made a video! Please check it out on our class website!
