-We need more thin, dry erase pens for our daily language on white boards!!! We are rationing them and soon won’t have any pens to use at all. We do our daily word work on white boards each day and truly need dry erase pens to do our work. Next time you’re at Target or Staples, please pick up a box or two for room 11. Thanks!
-Unfortunately I’m finding a TON of broken pencils around the classroom. We’ve had a class chat about how to treat things however; I’m continuing to find chewed and broken pencils all around the room. Please have a chat with your child on how to use these tools.
-May 17 th is the LAST day to log books onto Books and Beyond!!!
