YEA! My blog seems to be working again!
Monday 2-2
Hi everyone. I just wanted to apologize for the splintered attention to the blog. I have been experiencing unusual slowness each time I use the blog and it's been very frustrating for me. I may have solved the problem, but only time will tell. I like very much to include homework daily on the blog, but it has just been responding EXTREMELY slowly. Thank you for your patience as I try to fix the problems.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Yesterday a letter went home asking for items to help with our Thursday holiday celebration. I happened to be absent unexpectedly and the notes went home without the specified item written in the space provided. I sent home the requested items today in the Friday folders. I would like to have these things by Monday. Please let me know if you're unable to supply the requested things. In addition to the item listed, please feel free to bring a snack to share. This snack should be sent on Wednesday or Thursday, depending on the snack. Thank you for supporting our school celebrations!
