- HAD FUN!!!
Thanks for helping us get to school on time with all of our materials ready to go. Please note that the agenda/planner should come home daily with their learning targets written in (so you know what skills we are working on) and you will find HW (Monday-Thursday) in the back pocket. The agenda/planners and homework should return the next day. I hope to have a class family email distribution list set up this weekend and I can send quick info (notes, reminders, username/password patterns, etc) that way.
Have a great evening!
