August 26 - September 6, 2019

Dear Parents,

Welcome to our third week of school!  I sent home the book report with a battle of the books list on Thursday.  Scholars will be able to checkout books this week.  There is always the City Library as well.

I think these first few weeks of school have gone well.  I am loving everything about my new group of scholars and am pleased to see how we are connecting as a community.  Most procedures have been taught and expectations will continue to be gone over. :)

Pictures from the first week of school!  We did a science investigation outside and had some fun doing math with M&M's.
