October 13-17

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Everyone reached their goal for AR!  The students worked really hard to reach 100%.  I am proud of each one of them.  They will be treated to an ice cream treat!

The play on Friday was awesome.  Our very own classmate, Breysen, was great.  He played a chameleon in the play.  Way to Go, Breysen!!!!  A BIG thank you to Mrs. Judy Dettwiller and Mr. John Schubert for helping out at the play.  We appreciate it! 

Beginning this week, I will no longer read tests, quizzes, or daily grades for language arts (Reading, English, and Spelling) to the class as a whole.  I will continue to assist students individually.

On Thursday, October 30th, Caroline will have a Birthday Celebration in the prayer garden with me during lunch.  She celebrates an October 30th birthday!  Happy Birthday!!!!
