Thanks Gabby F. and Gavin L. for the book donations to our class from the Book Fair! We are so grateful! Students picked up a number of fabulous books this week!
Also, thanks to the anonymous family that donated more Magic Model clay to our class. (The Amazon package didn't list the purchaser's name, but we are thankful!)
HOMEWORK FOR PARENTS - coming home this week
Mrs. O'Rourke Out for CAMP T this Wed, Thur, Fri
Fortunately, a personal friend of mine will be my substitute, so the kids will be in VERY trusted hands. With that said, a sub's job is very challenging. PLEASE have a conversation with your child about the importance of being respectful and staying on task. Thank you!
Book Fair Shopping!
