Monday

I have placed a sign up sheet for parent/teacher interviews on the back of the classroom door.  The interviews for our class are scheduled on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.  This is not a typo.  I have to have a dental procedure done on Thursday and will be away on Thursday and Friday for it.  Due to this I am holding interviews on Tuesday and Wednesday.  The students will still have  a half day on the Thursday there will just be no interviews.  If these times on Tuesday and Wednesday do not work for you please contact me and we can make other arrangements.  If you feel that you have more to say than the 10 minute time allotment please book a second time slot. Or if you have more than one child please book one spot for each child.

 - math 4p. 20 #1-10, 5p. 19 #1-2, 6p. 22 #1-6
