We have a full week of school, with the In ‘N’ Out truck coming on Friday, which is a full day. Make sure you have all of your orders in the office by Tuesday. We will have a free dress day (cost is $1) on Wednesday; proceeds will be sent to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
THE WEEK AHEAD:
HOMEWORK: Students will be doing the following ixL skills this week: Math P 1 and P 2, and Language G 1. We will be doing Fluency #33, and students should be reading for 20-30 minutes per night.
