Pictures

Next week we will be constructing personal time lines in class to show important events that have happened in our life.  The students need to begin looking for pictures of events.  Please make sure the students know what they are and when they took place.  Perhaps labeling them on the back will be helpful.  These pictures will be returned to you.  Examples to use are: birth; first day of school, birth of younger siblings, and anything else you can think of.

Grade Cards were sent home in the Blue Folders today.  As always if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.  Please make sure to sign the report cards and return them with  2 postage stamps so that they can be mailed to you at the end of the year.  Also, if you have any outstanding library books, your report card will be held until all fees are paid.

If your student is sick or needs to miss school please make sure you call the office and notify them.  Also, please make arrangements to pick up their missed work.  As we near the end of the school year it is very important that the students do not fall behind.
