Dear Parents,

• Monday is school picture day.  Your child should have brought home an order form a couple of days ago.
• There will be no spelling words next week due to the field trip on Thursday.  Students will just review previous spelling words.
• U.S Presidents projects are due soon.  If you need the schedule again please look at the post of September 27th.  Also, please let me know if your child is planning on doing a power point presentation so I can make sure to have the projector scheduled ahead of time.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Ms. Krista
