We have had an extra fun week preparing for the Tritt-Mazing Race! We celebrated meeting our 3rd, 4th and 5th goals with No Homework, lunch in the classroom with a movie, and a pizza party! I am so excited to cheer our class on Monday during the Tritt-Mazing Race! A reminder that we will race against Mrs. Toomey’s class at 10:45. Come cheer us on! 

If you have not yet completed the field trip permission slips for our X-drenaline field trip or the Cobb Performing Arts field trip (ballet) please check your child’s folder. The Performing Arts permission slip was sent home at the very beginning of the year (for our trip on December 3rd) and the X-drenaline permission slips were sent home during parent-teacher conferences. For those who have not turned them in I am sending home additional forms today. Please sign and return these asap.
