Announcements -
Ms. Alma tries to keep certain books out of reach due to content or reading level. If your student would like to be able to look at and check books out from another section, please email Ms. Alma Nieves directly and she will gladly let them visit during free times to pick out a book.
Ship Ahoy! We have our dates set for our adventure on the Denis Sullivan! Mark your calendars that your child will have an adjusted schedule the week of Feb 2-6. We will spend the afternoons on the ship (Tues-Fri), so they will need to be picked up by you at Gallows Bay.
- 10/24 Parent-Teacher Conferences
- 10/31 Halloween Ghost Walk (costume parade) and Boo Bash/Trunk-or-treat (I don't plan to have a "party" in class, as I know the sweet treats are flowing over several days for some of your children, but if a parent wished to send in a healthy afternoon snack that would be fine.)
