WEEK 17
Well, I guess we need to finish last week before beginning this new week, so we will be finishing up work on the letter Aa today, and begin Bb tomorrow.
New words for the Word Wall this week are: here, it, and said.
You had notes home last week pertaining to the students being taken to the Curling Rink - please make sure you return the permission slips to me asap. If your child doesn't have a helmet, let me know and I'll see what I can do about finding one to borrow.
