Our first week of school was great.  We had a wonderful time getting to know each other, and learning about our classroom.

This week, our unit is All About Me.  We will be talking about what makes us unique.  We will also talk about our families and some of our favorite things.  If you have not sent in your child's family picture or baby picture, please do so as quickly as possible.

There is a home football game on Friday.  Cheek cheers will be available for $.75.  An envelope marked "cheek cheer" will come home with your child on Thursday.  Please put money in that envelope if ordering.
