I hope everyone had a great weekend. Please check below for some weekly updates. 

Classroom Updates: 
Hearts for Houston: 
We are raising money for classrooms in Houston. We will be graphing the money raised by each grade level in the cafeteria. Students who are able to donate will get a heart to display with their name on it in the cafeteria. I am encouraging our class to band together to help those in need. Let's live to give and help raise money for classrooms in Houston! If you are able to donate, any donations is appreciated!!

Please remember, you will have access to how your child is doing in all subjects but we ask that you meet only with the homeroom teacher first. If there is immediate need to meet with your child's PM teacher, please email them directly.
