If you do not know if your son/daughter has overdue books, I have left the list outside of my classroom door or you may email me and I will let you know.
Snacks: We are running low on snacks. If anyone is able to donate some snacks for the classroom, that would be very much appreciated. Please remember that we cannot have snacks with nuts of any kind.
