The class will work on these together on Monday during class for the first 30 minutes as we start the class. This should help the students discuss the vocabulary and the rest of the assignment for the week in class, and increase their knowledge on early expansion of the country westward.
Don’t forget the “Box Tops” from the various food packages and paper products.
We are in the need of Kleenex (unscented tissues).
Please encourage your children to get lots of rest and nutritious food during the week...Cold and Flu season plus allergy time due to all the blooming plants and trees are upon us.
Also, students are bringing perfumed lotions to class, opening them and using them. This is not permitted. I am very allergic to any of these scents which can bring on immediate breathing challenges to the point I may require oxygen. If these are brought out during class Security will be called in to search all backpacks for these items and confiscated. The parents may claim them at the office at the end of the school day.
