Mrs. Cornell's Class
News for the week of November 12 - November 19
Dear Parents,
Oh my! The days are just flying by and the weather is so varied. Students must come ready for anything with hats, gloves/mitts, scarves, and a warm jacket - - maybe even boots! Crazy that it was just in the low 70's!
I will be seeing most of you this week for conferences. Please plan to check out your child's locker before or after the conference. Some students have a few things that should go home, but don't seem to get there! This is also another opportunity to help your child look through the Lost and Found items.
Have a good week!
Mrs. Cornell
