Hello FamiLEE!
I can't believe we have spent 9 weeks together. They have been amazing filled with lots of learning and fun!! As the nine weeks finishes, we are finalizing report cards, and you can expect those to come home on Friday, October 18th.
FIELD TRIP
Parent’s, I am so sorry I forgot to send home field trip forms on Thursday! I have attached it here with all the information, so you can prepare money or even print it off if you would like. I will send home the form on Tuesday. Once again, I apologize for not doing that on Thursday. Our 1st grade field trip is scheduled! We will visit the Dallas Arboretum on November 7th, to see living things and life cycles in action. If you can join us as a chaperone, please complete a background check now! We need chaperones to make the field trip possible, and the more parents that join us, the better the experience will be! If fees or cost are a concern for your family, PLEASE contact me.
DAD’S CLUB FALL CAMP-IN
