Notes and Upcoming Project Due Dates

Please make sure that your child is reviewing material each and every night.  Their folder should also be organized properly with the three sections I have asked for - assignments, notes/foldables, and their Science Journal (which should be a spiral notebook).  

We are in need of hand sanitizer, paper towels, and tissue.  I would appreciate any and all donations you are able to make to our classroom.
