There will be NO extra help math this week.
FYI - (For Ms. Connors' students) Mrs. Peterson has extra help math on Tuesdays from 2:30 to 3:00. Anyone, in either class, is welcome to attend. Just slip a note in the agenda or let me know through the classdojo that your child will be attending. You may pick your child up at my outside door, come in through the main doors, or I can walk your child to the after school program. If your child typically attends the after school program, they will need to have a note for Mrs. Toomey letting her know they have permission to come to extra help math.
Both Ms. Connors' and Mrs. Peterson's book orders are due Friday, February 12.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book club meets Thursday from 2:30 to 4:00. The only requirement to attend the book club is that you must have read the book.
Starting next month, Ms. Connor's class will be invited to attend the book club as well. The book for next month will be determined at the next book club, and I will post it shortly after for everyone to see.
