Hello!
Here's the breakdown for January 7-11. We will still be doing a lot of review in reading and really working hard on learning some new skills in math. It is also the kickoff for our Caring for the Community month-see the earlier post that talks about what's going on for that. This Thursday, Shirley Hills is having a Caring for Community Morning. Come with your child for a light breakfast snack and help pack some breakfast bags that will be sent to the Ronald McDonald house.
