Mrs. Millstein's Weekly Update!
September 30th - October 4th
Liberty Bell Field trip!
We had a blast visiting the Liberty Bell! Although the weather didn't permit our picnic in the park the students still thought seeing the National symbol was super cool! They were so well behaved that Mrs. Trout and I brought in a special treat today for their awesome listening and respectful behavior! Thank you to our chaperones for coming along and helping!
First in Math!
We have a classroom goal that each student will earn at least 100 stickers for our First in Math program per week. Please make sure your child is going on First in Math at home a few times a week to help them reach that goal! Logins were previously sent out but if you need the information please let me know!
