Class Updates
Just a few reminders:
- Family pictures: If your child attends ELL class, please send a 4x6 family picture so students can share and display their family picture in our classroom. If you have multiple students, please send one picture for the family and each child can share in their ELL group.
- Twitter Form: This year, we will have a class Twitter account to share student learning. Please sign and return the following form if you have not already. This will let me know if you allow your student's photos/learning to be shared via Twitter. I am still missing a few of these. Please send back as soon as you can.
