Week at Glance January 10

  

Note from the Teacher

      This coming week the students will get back to their normal academic routine.  Today the students received guidelines for a character friendly letter assignment.  Guidelines were discussed and sent home in Friday folders.  This assignment will be due on the 18 of January.        Also, we will be selecting a famous African American to research and study in honor of African American History month coming soon.   We will be working on this assignment both at school and at home.  Project guidelines will be sent home at the end of next week with each student in Friday folders.  

    We are excited to welcome Madison Darden the WCDS!   We look forward to getting to know her and help her adjust to our class and the WCDS family!  

        As always, thank you for your continued support!  Stay warm and enjoy your weekend!
