This week we will start Unit 2 in our Journeys Reading series. I will continue to send the book buddy bag home nightly. Please return the book buddy bag daily. This week we will also attend mass on Thursday for The Living Rosary and enjoy a pep rally Friday afternoon. The students are also enjoying the snacks that were donated in the beginning of the year:) We are starting to run low, so if you’re interested please feel free to donate a healthy snack to our classroom (pretzels, goldfish, animal crackers, etc…). Thanks so much for all your donations and support. Looking forward to a wonderful week!
