It has been a fantastic Friday! This morning we finished our Tales of A Fourth Grade Nothing book club in class. Those groups who did not finish the last chapter will bring it home this weekend. In the afternoon during co-teaching with Ms. Truesdell, we enjoyed researching with our buddy. It was a treat to see so many visitors for lunch today. Have a wonderful weekend!
Fall conferences will be held on November 16th and 17th. The sign-up sheet is posted outside of our classroom.
