Snow Days and the Blog
If we should happen to have a snow day sometime soon ... please refer to the blog for instructions as to when things will be due as far as Memory Work, Spelling Tests, etc...  As long as I have power  and internet access at home, I should be able to update it!

First and Second Grade Field Trip - Tuesday, May 7th
On the February 15th blog entry, I mentioned the basic details about this trip.  Please let me know as soon as possible (for purposes of reservations) if you would like to join us as a parental chaperone.  Thanks!
