I hope you all had a nice vacation. Thank you for turning in the field trip money for our field trip on January 29th. I'll pick chaperones soon!
Also, our homework is changing next week. Your child is aware of this and we are practicing leader/follower sentences using our Fundations words.
Have a great weekend! Stay warm! :)
