Scholastic Book Orders-ONLINE
Hard copy order forms will begin to go home next month! Scholastics always has great book sales, books as low as $1!!!! The more books parents orders, the more points we earn towards books for the classroom. In the meantime use the button on the right side to order books. Orders usually come in within a week and a half.
In our class this week 9/28-10/2
Good morning parents and guardians,
I hope your weekend is off to a great start! I wanted to remind you all that I will be out of the classroom for about two week for CELDT testing. I will be testing on both campus (flip-flopping between both campuses on a daily basis). When I am on our campus, I will be popping in to say "Hi" to the kids and reminding them to be on their best behavior. I am expected to be out all week Aug 28-Oct 1 and then full days Oct 5-6 and half days Oct 8-9. My substitute will be someone that has subbed for REACH for over three months last year as a long term substitute. I will be doing all the planning and setting everything up in the morning on a daily basis. Please speak with your child about showing the substitute respect and treating them exactly like myself. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me or stop by the classroom.
