Teachers Notes:
Good morning,
I hope that you are all having a wonderful Monday morning and that you have a great week. Next Friday we have our class trip to village manner, if you are able to be a driver please email me and let me know at your earliest availability. Thank you for all that you do and for your continued support this year. I love getting to know all your children and having them be a part of our class family. It is so hard to believe that we are already 1/2 way through the school year. Next week on Wednesday we will have the 100th day of school, provided we don't have any more snow days before then. I have gotten permission from Principal Whitehair to have our class dress up for this event. I will send a note later this week with more information about this day. Lastly, we are getting low on snacks. If you are able to send in snacks for the students that would be most helpful. Again thank you for all that you do, I would not be able to do what I do with out you.
