Has invaded our classroom! I am the fifth person in the class to get it! PLEASE, if your child is running a fever, has a sore throat, or acts super sick, KEEP THEM HOME!!! I will happily help them make up anything they miss while gone! We will be washing desks, doorknobs, and everything else as often as possible to try and keep the spread of germs down! 

Thanks for your help!

Anyone want to volunteer to plan and organize the class HALLOWEEN PARTY???? It will held on October 30th, from 1-2:45. I would love for someone to take charge, if not I will plan it, and I’ve told I am quite LAME………..

If you are interested in helping, let me know as soon as possible!

I really want to make cheesecloth ghosts to go along with our in-class writing project. In order to do this I will need 27 two liter bottles! Please if you have ANY send them in as soon as possible! I would love to do this project next TUESDAY so we will need them turned in before then! 

 

Thanks,
