By ,

Dear Families,

We want to thank you for a wonderful year thus far. It is a pleasure working with each one of your children. Thank you for the generous gifts as well. We appreciate your generosity and support very much!

Here are some pictures from the trip to the South Street Seaport Museum. Both classes had an amazing time and even raised a sail!

Over the break, please make sure your children read daily. Students are also bringing home their writing notebooks. Encourage them to write about their vacation activities, or to use this time to write in a genre of their choice. In addition, a spelling list is being sent home. This list includes frequently used words that we have noticed the children have trouble with, and also words with “u” patterns (tricky!). The students will be assessed upon their return to school. Finally, a new Readworks assignment will be posted for class 201. 202 should review old assignments and complete any past assignments that have not been finished. School will resume on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018.

Here is the list for the students that were absent on Friday:
