Tuesday 9/27/16

Please sign the folder this week (9/27/16)  If you signed it yesterday then please just check it for the papers that are coming home.

Students are coming home with an invitation and code for Showbie.  It is a program that I use to collect and grade papers.  I do not use it for everything but I do use it a lot and therefore there will not be lots of graded papers coming home.  

ALSO, tomorrow is the class visit to the Scholastic Bookfair students may bring money to purchase books. The bookfair will also be open during Parent Night on Thursday for you to come and shop with your child.
