It is hard to believe that this week will be the last week of the 4th six weeks grading period! The school year Seems to be just flying right by! This week will be a review/testing week along with the introduction of new vocabulary words. We will also be participating in a class Valentine exchange on Friday afternoon. I sent an informational letter home today with students that includes guidelines for the kids to follow as well as a list of student’s first names. Please let me know if you have any questions. Even though our card exchange can not be considered an official celebration, I will do what I can to make it fun for the kids!
