As it seems to become our norm, we had busy week last week and have another busy week coming up!
I first want to thank all of the families that attended our student led conferences! The children loved sharing their work and school with you, your support meant so much to them. I have a few families that are coming in over the next little while and I know your children are looking forward to it as well!
As the third term continues to chug along, here is a quick look at some of the content I hope to cover through the rest of the year. If you have any question about this please let me know!
