Important Information:
- "Let's Pretend Hospital" field trip permission slips that were sent home should be signed and returned to school ASAP. I will email out an electronic copy that you can print and return if needed. The cost for this field trip is $7.00 and should be sent to school labeled and sealed in an envelope by this Friday, February 19, 2016. Only five (5) chaperones are allowed per class. Therefore, I will create a sign-up genius and the first five who volunteer will be the ones allowed to go with us. Please note, that you are responsible for your transportation to and from the field trip.
- Thank you so much for helping to make our celebration of Valentine's Day such a success and thanks for all of the goodies that were sent to me. I am always overwhelmed by your appreciation and support of me. I am very grateful.
- Something you can help with at home is helping out learners to practice and memorize adding doubles (e.g. 2+2=, 3+3=........25+25=, 50+50=, 100+100=......) This knowledge will help tremendously with adding larger numbers.
