THE WEEK AHEAD:

As the hot weather continues, the eighth graders continue selling bottled water on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Wednesday is a free dress, with a $1 donation (or more) for our Adopt-a-Family mission project. This Friday is a half-day; we will have Intermediate Centers after recess.

HOMEWORK (due Monday): CORRECTION: This week students should complete ixL Math skills C 1 and D 1, as well as Language skill B 4. (I mistakenly wrote down last week’s assignment on the board today).
