This week we will celebrate Roman and Micah T.’s birthdays! Happy birthday to Ashton who celebrates his birthday Saturday, October 7th!
I will be collecting $10 from each family in order to cover the cost of upcoming party crafts/activities. A note will be going home by the end of the week.
Please welcome Georgia and Skylar’s moms as our second grade class parents. They will be reaching out to you in the upcoming weeks regarding class holiday celebrations. They will be coordinating snack donations for each party. Thank you in advance!
Please think about volunteering as a Mystery Reader! If interested, please email me so we can schedule a date for you to come in and read to the class. We’d love to have you visit our classroom!
Speaking of books…..book order forms have been sent home. Please order online at Scholastic.com/ReadingClub by Oct. 11.
