Message from Mrs. Langston
Snack and Water Bottle
Please do not forget to send a small snack and a water bottle to school each day!
IMPORTANT: Please make sure computers are charged every night! Lately, our class has at least 5 students per day who bring computers to school not charged.
Homework
Independent reading for at least thirty minutes each night is always very important, especially this time of year.
Students will also have math homework every night!
