Announcements:
Class supply donations: Our classroom could still benefit from the following donations. (Now or anytime throughout the year.) I think we already went through two boxes of tissues last week thanks to allergies and stuffy noses!
Tissues
Paper towels
Disinfecting wipes
Flushable wipes
Hand sanitizer
Extra pencils
Class Volunteers: If you are still interested in volunteering in our classroom, make sure you turned in the pink slip given at back to school night. Most importantly, please make sure you get a background check through Davis District if you plan on volunteering (even for class parties.) I will be emailing volunteers soon. Also, if you have a grandparent or relative that would be interested in helping, please have them email me.

Beginning of Year Testing: Acadience testing and i-Ready diagnostic test will be finalized this week. These assessments help us know to best help students this year.
