Week 9 - Parent Conference Week

I am looking forward to meeting each of you at the conferences this week. Please remember to arrive promptly at your alloted time out of respect for the other parents who will be attending multiple conferences. The time slot for each meeting is 20 minutes, which is a short period of time to cover all that we would like to discuss. Therefore, if you would like to continue our discussion, we can do so at a later time.
EXCITING NEWS With our classroom funds donated by parents I was able to buy purchase four Imacs for our classroom. I was also able to purchase some class projects, curriculum and prizes. Thanks again for your generous support.
