Also, parents, it would be useful for your students to have some plain white paper for them to bring with them to class. When we have time or if students finish an activity early, they are allowed to work on picture dictionaries. Having plain white paper on hand in their binder or folder would be helpful for them. F block: please have parents sign your Quick Survey Project and return to class TOMORROW.
