Week 17

Good Morning and Happy Monday 1B Families,

I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with joy and lots of turkey!  Before the break, the scholars of 1B enjoyed an adventure filled Egypt celebration (pictures to come). Thank you to all of the parents who helped make it a huge success.

We have a few quite weeks before the holidays hit again. We are starting our final book of the Frog and Toad series this week, Frog and Toad All Year. Please ensure that your child brings their copy to school. Thank you!  Let's encourage our scholars to finish the quarter strong! 

In pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness,
Shannon Dawson
