Here is a note from Mrs. Geraghty
In celebration of this beautiful fall we have accomplished together, on Monday, October 31, we will be hosting a "fall celebration" in classrooms. Students and staff are welcome to dress up as their favorite animal, color, superhero, food, sparkly princess, book character, sports hero, or anything else appropriate. We just ask that students not wear violent costumes and no weapons or tools of ay kind! It is a time to celebrate our hard work this fall and have some fun!!!! family members who dress up during AM drop off and PM pick up, we will be passing out treats to parents/ guardians during these times! 

New sight words

Hi all! I tested all of our students for sight words this week. Many of them moved onto the next level! I put new sight words in their folder today. If they are the same as last time, that means that they could use a little more practice with those words. Please remember to practice every night! 

Book Fair

Hello all! I hope you had a relaxing MEA break! This message is in regards to our book fair coming up next week. This is when there will be a chance for students to purchase books. Our entire class will be going to look at books, however it is your family's choice whether or not you want to send money to purchase. If your student does not bring money, they will still have a chance to look at books. If your student does bring money, I will help make sure they pick out a book that they would like. Our class will be going on Thursday, November 3rd at 1:00-1:30. You will be getting an email shortly with some more information. Thank you!
