Writing Homework!!!

Hello Parents, It looks like most of the class did not come in prepared today to do their informational books. Most of the students did not remember what they are writing about. Please help them research their topic they came home with. It was a pink paper attached to their HW packet. Students will need to read or watch a Youtube video on their topic. This will help them write their informational book that is due on Friday. Please have them research tonight so they are ready to start writing tomorrow. -L

Reminders

 

Please send in your child’s 100th day snack. I’m also looking for a few parents to help this Thursday the 26th at 10:15 with our 100th day celebration.
