“It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one.” – George Washington
Important Information
It is another short week! Friday is a professional development day, so there is no school for the students. Also, there will not be any Spelling or Reading test this week.
Thank you to everyone for contributing to the class party funds. The children and I appreciate it.
Instrument lessons started two weeks ago. The schedule for this week’s lessons was sent to the children’s email on Wednesday. Please make sure your child checks the schedule. The schedule changes each week, so please look for the schedule, and make note of the day your child has lessons. You can contact Ms. Philbin if you have any questions.
In case you haven’t heard, we now have all of our books. Hooray!
