Week 22

Greetings 1B Families,

Happy Friday! I hope that you all enjoy the long weekend!

Next Friday, January 24th will be the 100th day of school! On Tuesday, students will receive a Ziploc bag to fill with a collection of 100  things (beads, coins, cherrios, etc.) to bring in on Friday. We look forward to celebrating 100 days of learning! 

We will also be reading A Bargain for Frances beginning on January 27th.  Please ensure that your child brings their copy to school.  Thank you! 

In pursuit of truth, beauty and goodness,

Shannon Dawson
