Bingo and Baskets
The theme is SC Palmetto State. We are asking for donation to arrive by Tuesday...and we don't have school on Monday... so time is of the essence. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
She has a great list of suggested items if you are like me and need a little inspiration. I won't list them all here for the sake of space, but they were in the email I forwarded to you. If you didn't receive the email or want more information, please let me know. You can also email Missy at missybrown0123@gmail.com.
Don't forget: Middleton Place forms and money are due March 20th.
Reading
They are already pointing out more figurative language in their independent reading! :-) I've overheard several book club discussions about figurative language, too!

Please continue encouraging your child to use their morning work time wisely to prevent having to work on notebook assignments at home. We are sprinting to the finish line, and we will finish strong!!
