Jan. 13- Jan. 17

Hello Families and Friends! We have a fun week ahead of us, below are some of the events and activities you can look forward to!

School/Classroom Supplies

Each child will be responsible for his/her own classroom supplies and replenishing them for the remainder of the school year. These supplies include: crayons, markers, pencils, personal sharpener (that holds the shavings), erasers, scissors, glue sticks. We do have a store in Mitchellville that students may "purchase" pencils and erasers as needed. Also, if you'd like to donate to replenish our classroom supplies, the following is a list of things that we all use: Kleenex, wipes, hand sanitizer, paper-towel rolls, snacks (15 count).

Vacation to Mars!

The second grade classes are studying about the Solar System during the month of January and will also be practicing a short musical titled "Vacation to Mars," that they will perform in February. All the practices for the songs and script parts will take place in class. Please mark your calendar for our performance on Wednesday, February, 12th at 2:00 p.m. More details to follow!
