Sorry, I was unable to post last night’s homework. I was feeling ill and went home after school. Also, unfortunately, we did not have enough drivers for our field trip on Thursday to Mission San Jose. Therefore, the trip has been canceled. A huge thank you to those parents who originally signed up to go and those who offered to drive/chaperone in hopes of not having to cancel. In addition, if you need parent service hours, and would like to take a project home to work on, please contact me and let me know. I have several new books from our scholastic book fair to add to our classroom library, but before that they need to be covered with contact paper. I will supply the contact paper.
