News and Notes
· Our class will be making a “Family Fun Night” basket for the LCS Auction. The theme is focused on games and other activities for a family to do together (as another class is doing a movie basket). Students are asked to send in a donation—it may be something for in the basket or funds to purchase items. Please send these in by Wednesday, January 14th.
· We have made a few changes to our clip strip system. Students will be starting over with a new strip daily. If students have marked off during the day, they will bring the slip home in their planner to be signed. I hope this communication will help us nip some talking and goofy behavior in the bud.
