*On Monday, we will travel by bus to the Day School to visit the Living Lab. We will leave at 9:20am and return just after 11:00am. Our focus at Living Lab will be how living things use their body parts and the comparing plants. Please dress for the outside weather as we will explore the Reed Brook during our visit.
*I hope to see many of you on Monday night (September 17th) from 6-6:45pm for Back to School Night.

Please note, this session is for parents/guardians only (no students) in order to discuss what to expect in first grade.
*Starting this week, students will be taking books out of the Library during their weekly visits. Please be sure to send books back to school each Monday so your child can take out another book.
