I am so impressed with how great the students were last week when I was gone! My sub had nothing but wonderful things to say about my class. On that note, I will not be here next on September 26th. It is Rosh Hashanah and I will be spending it with my family. I will be sending out the newsletter on Wednesday or Thursday of next week.
We will be having our first Art Masterpiece lesson next week. If you would like to volunteer to do a lesson please let me know. I can’t wait to see their art masterpieces!
Lastly, please be on the lookout on Monday when we send home our first recitation of the year. It will be a light lavender colored paper. There is a parent letter that gives you more information about our expectations and on the back is where you will find different recitations. Students will be reciting them on Friday October 3rd. I can’t wait to hear them!
