The kids who went on the field trip today had a fantastic time!  Those of us who got to stay here, had a really fun day with only 13 friends in the room!  Lots of time for some of us to get ahead!  😉

Lastly,  Conference notices were sent home on Tuesday.  Most everyone has returned theirs!  Thank you!!  If you have forgotten to return it to school or requested a new day/time, please touch base with me tomorrow and let me know that the conference time is acceptable.
