Substitute for Friday September 20
My little sister is getting married!
I am so excited to join my family in Pennsylvania this weekend for my little sister's wedding day. Unfortunately, that means I will be away from my classroom on Friday September 20. The substitute will have very detailed plans for what is expected of both the teacher and the students. Please kindly remind your student that they are to be on their very best behavior while I am gone as I plan to do the same throughout the week.
Hope you all have a wonderful week!
