Tuesday's Agenda

This will be my last post until next Monday. I will be out of school for the rest of week starting tomorrow. Students will continue to have spelling and reading homework the rest of the week but will have no Thursday reading homework. If you have any questions or concerns while I am away please don't hesitate to call the office and I will be checking in to see how things are going. I do not like to leave my class for any reason but I know I have a great sub coming in that is familiar to the students and they will have a great time learning about why tales and writing postcards about their favorite books. I will miss you and look forward to hearing how everything went when I get back on Monday!


Hugs,
Mrs. Del Balzo
