Week 21 (1/14-1/18)

Friday January 18th
Today was the last day of Fall semester. It is hard to believe we are already half way through the school year! I wish you and your family a happy and safe winter holiday period.


There is no set homework during the vacation period. We encourage children to take a well-deserved break, relax and recharge their batteries ready for next semester.
Please remember there is Pearson Realize available with some stories and activities inside.
