Miss G’s Weekly News Number 12
Friday, November 20, 2009
Dear Parent(s),
Just so you are aware, the tests that have been corrected in red, and that you are signing this weekend, are all for the second quarter report card marks. Our conference discussions will be based on the first quarter report card marks.
We’ve been very diligent about cleaning our desks and chairs with Clorox wipes.
In fact, we’ve run out of them.
Would it be possible for you to send another container for use in our room?
I would really appreciate it.
Because next week is a short week, Friday folders will not be sent home over the Thanksgiving vacation.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Miss G.
