Good evening everyone :)
Learning Day- If we have time tomorrow I would like to provide some of this time. Today was some free time, but I can tell that students are enjoying time together and are not feeling like learning :) I apologize that we ran out of time and I did not get you this day. I was intending to do so this week, but we ran out of time. If you would like to bring resources tomorrow, I am happy to provide some time for you to work on this.
Stories - Please bring your stories with you to school tomorrow. I was planning on having you read them to the class, but it doesn't look like we will have time. I would like to read them though! Thank you!
Tomorrow (Wednesday) - Please come dressed for the weather, with a water bottle and sunscreen. We are hoping to be able to spend some time having fun outside.
Have a great evening,
