News for this week

Announcements:
  • SNOW GEAR - Please have your students bring in a separate bag for snow gear (let me know if you need one). It is too much to put in their backpack. Please label snow pants AND boots and make sure to send in shoes to wear in the classroom as we keep the boots outside of our classroom. I will be sure to communicate with specials teachers to make sure students have on their coats, hats, gloves, and boots when leaving their classroom at the end of the day.
