Grace will be our “student of the week” for
the week of November 26th.
Thank you for all the nice
cards that were sent in for my birthday. I loved the children’s artwork. Their
cards are all taped on my back wall.
The treats were delicious too. I gained 3 pounds this week, but it was well
worth it! Thanks for being so
thoughtful.
Since next week is a short week due to the
Thanksgiving Break, there won't be a newsletter. I hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable Thanksgiving
with your families.
**Due to Thanksgiving break, we
won’t be having a new reading lesson. We
will begin the next reading lesson on Monday, November 26th.
