A Busy Week Ahead

What a busy week we have this week rehearsing for our Friday show. In class we will be reviewing spelling, vocabulary and high frequency words, which I have copied on the back of this week's homework log. We will continue learning about South America in Social Studies, Plants in Science, and working with Place Value, Money and Time in Math.

The children are excited about the show and we look forward to seeing you there on Friday, October 23rd at 8:30am. The students will wear their uniform bottom (shorts or skort), flag t-shirt (they made at school) and bandana. Please send in the bandana, if you have not already done so.

Have a great week.
