Exciting events in our classroom: We have a fun field trip coming up next Monday for a Science Day at WITC.  Last year it was a wonderful experience that helped us have hands on experience with exploring science. Our Christmas Program is coming up on December 9th at 6:00.  The students are busy preparing for that with Ms. Betzold. Tomorrow is Stuff the Gym night at our basketball game.  Games are at 6 and 7.  Please come if you can with your red and white Bruin's colors on! We will be finishing up our Guided Reading books soon and then will be starting an independent reading unit.  I will be focusin on individualized strategies for reading.  Students will have a book at their level to read at school and at home.  Please support them in their reading!
