We were so busy today! This morning we spent a lot of time working on our personal narratives! You will see it come home today or Friday if your child did not finish it. This afternoon we had the best time starting our next social studies unit on Michigan’s geography! The kids and I were thrilled to awesome landforms in Michigan that were made by glaciers. Get ready for a fabulous Friday.
*Please encourage your child to bring a water bottle to class so he/she does not have to leave class when thirsty!
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD TO BRING SHARPENED PENCILS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY! PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CHILD WITH A PERSONAL PENCIL SHARPENER TO KEEP IN HIS/HER BINDER!!!
