Happy Friday families,

I hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead! Another amazing week in grade 1. We returned to gymnastics this week and had a ton of fun with this. This week was our last week checking out library books with Mrs. Norman, next Wednesday we will return them for the year. Thank you again to all the families who continue to participate in our home reading decodable books program.
