Caring and Sharing Update
Caring and sharing groups are going to start the week of December 19th. This year we are having 2 groups per grade level. Each group will consist of 6 children, so therefore each grade level picks 12 children to participate in the groups. Early next week Mr. Wertman will be asking/ discussing with grade level teams good fits for their groups. Please start talking about the make-up of each group and which children would benefit from the group. After we select the children for the groups, I will give teachers the permission slips that have to be signed before they can become part of the group.
Concert-Tuesday, December 6th
Please see email from Mr. Hart for details.
