Classroom Chatter
Book orders went home this week.They are due online by Sunday 3/18. If you don't order online, send in orders on Monday. I'll enter orders Monday after school.

GLUE STICKS! We are VERY low on glue sticks and have several projects we will be working on now until the end of the year. If you child can bring in one or some, that would be great! Thank you. Also, now is a good time to ask your child how their "supplies" are. It is common to be low on dry erase markers and pencils. :) Thanks!
