A look forward:
January 17 will be our field trip to the Museum of Natural History. We will leave at 8:15 and return after lunch in the park. I will accept the first six parents who would like to volunteer for this fun event as chaperones. Also, the cost is $10.00 each and we are starting to collect that now. Just send the money in an envelope addressed to Mrs. Zavala and put it in your student's green folder. More information and permission forms will be forthcoming.
Monday: Leveled readers returned.
