Week of 10/9 - 10/13
October 12, 2023
Dear Parents,
I have a good feeling that the class (including me) is going to sleep good tonight due to a successful field trip. The students had a wonderful time at Petty Ranch learning about plant growth, insects, the water cycle, and healthy soil among other things. The students will be bringing home a plant tomorrow as a souvenir of their busy day.
I must admit that in the business of our arrival back to school before the bell rang, I was unable to get the Corrected Work Envelopes passed out. I will send them home tomorrow. Please be on the lookout for them and return them by Tuesday, 10/17.
On another note, thank you to the anonymous donor(s) who donated the Kleenex, glue sticks, and mini globes to our classroom. I assure you that all of these items will be put to good use!
Mrs. McLoud
