Read Across

Our class is looking forward to celebrating Read Across America Day tomorrow. All students are invited to bring in a book of their choice to share a bit with their classmates. We also have some suprise visitors which will make our day extra special! As a friendly reminder, please remember to check your child's Friday folder tomorrow. There will be important information about what has gone on in class this week as well as what to look forward to for next week. Third quarter progress reports will also be in the folders tomorrow. Have a great night!
