Week at a Glance: November 28 – December 2

Monday

Library Day!  This will be our last visit to the library as a class in the modular.  We will next go to the brand new library after Christmas break.  You can still check out books before school or during homeroom until the last of the books are packed for the move.  Please turn in books as you finish them.  I will pass out the December book order for a last chance to order books before Christmas.
