Week of January 21-25

Thank you for the wonderful volunteers we had on our field trip! We had a great time. Check out the cool pictures on the homeroom app!

We will be celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday this weekend.

This afternoon we will be watching Our Friend Martin which discusses Martin

Luther King in an understandable, relevant way.  I’m sure the students will

love it.

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the snow!!  Don’t forget to check your

child’s grades online.  We are at the halfway mark of Trimester 2.

Spelling: New words will be coming home on Tuesday along with a new

homework menu.  It will be due on or before 2/1.
