NOTES FROM THE TEACHER:
This newsletter will be my weekly communication with parents. I will highlight sight words and our topics for Language Arts, Math and Science/Social Studies, include helpful tips as well as inform you of school events throughout the year. The newsletters will be ed and uploaded on my website.
