Hi there! Sorry for the crickets over here! I'm happy to be back and fully recovered from a couple days of sickness. All I can say is cover your cough and wash your hands like crazy because we can't afford to be out of school right now, let me tell you!

Science: We are coming to a close with our Science booklets. Tomorrow will be our last day to work on those together. Tomorrow night whatever is not finished in class will be homework. Tonight go ahead and get as much done on those as you can so we can make any last corrections on them tomorrow.

Progress Reports: Remember to bring those back signed by a parent! (It'll cost you 2 "bucks" everyday you don't bring them back!)


Taiko Drumming: Please bring back your permission slip! Tony needs them ASAP!

Not much on the homework front tonight. Great focus on 4sight testing today! Hopefully we can see lots of progress since the beginning of the year.

Have a great night! See you in the morning.
Miss Baker
