Tuesday, December 7

And it's Tuesday.

Remember, we have sex-ed today so work needs to be completed at 1:30 for Ms. Yumi's arrival.

A few other important reminders:

OPEN HOUSE is TOMORROW - Wednesday, December 8 from 1-3:00PM. You will have a few assignments to complete during Open House, but once you've had your conference and your assignments are completed, you will be allowed to go home.

ICE SKATING is FRIDAY, December 10. You need to be at school by 11AM and we should return no later than 3PM. The cost will be $5-8 per person and money is due Wednesday. The first thirteen to pay are the thirteen that go.

Other than that, please start your independent assignments:
