Notes from Teacher
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, gratitude and family. It was great meeting with each family last week. Students did a great job leading their conferences and setting goals for their learning. I look forward to seeing them achieve their goals in the coming months.
We have a busy few weeks before Christmas break. Lots of exciting things happening in our classroom. Tuesday we are having a special assembly for Diabetes awareness month and students may wear Sounders or Seahawks colors that day. Friday is our Camping/Electronic party. Students may wear free dress and bring sleeping bags, pop up tents and an electronic (iPad, iPod, Kindle, tablet, etc.) to use during party. We will be camping out in our classroom in the afternoon.
Blessings,
Susan Smith
