I really enjoyed hearing the culture day presentations. The work and effort that the students put in really showed! I look forward to hearing the remaining presentations on Monday!
Matter Presentation: We will have an in school "field trip" about matter on Wed. 2/2. The cost of the presentation will be covered with the money from last years canceled field trip (when your child was in 2nd grade).
Valentine's Day: When buying Valentine's Day cards, please do not pick out ones that include candy. Students will not be able to pass out any candy. Also, there are 23 students in the class.
