Today was a Marvelous Monday!
I just wanted to let you know that I will be flying to Florida to spend the holidays with my family. My parents and my husband’s parents are in Florida and Georgia during the holidays. We will fly into Tampa and enjoy a few days. We will then drive to St. Simons Island, GA to visit with my parents! I will not be at school on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Mrs. Robinson will be here with the children during my absence.
After break, we will be starting a unit on Insects and life cycles. For this unit, I need 5 2-liter bottles with caps. They need to be the clear kind. Green ones won’t work:( Thanks so much! On Monday, your child received his/her choice hour packet! Can you believe they are already preparing for the third quarter?!!!
