Your child may bring in a snack to eat in the afternoon due to our early lunch schedule.  (crackers, fruit, veggies, chips)  Snack donations for the whole class are appreciated!  Full bellies = better learners.  :)   

 

 

Homework:
*Monday and Wednesday there will be one Math homework page and one Reading page
