Dear Parents,
I am currently taking a medical leave of absence and hope to return on May 20th. Ms. Turek will be substituting for 3 weeks. I'm sure she will do a great job and we will work together to make sure everything runs smoothly.
I will continue to grade the students' work to monitor their progress.
Important Reminder - Field Trip
The class will be going to the DuPage Children's Museum. Your child will need to bring a bag lunch on Wednesday. We will leaving at 9:10 a.m. and returning after the scheduled lunch. Students will be eating lunch in the classroom.
Open House
I hope everyone enjoyed the Open House. I thought I would be able to be there, unfortunately things didn't go according to my plan. I know the children were very excited about their projects and they all put in a lot of hard work.
