Greetings Families,
I hope you had a great weekend. Here are the lessons for this week. Please remember that this is a short week. We only have school today, Monday, and tomorrow.
After the Thanksgiving celebration, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday deals, it will time to focus on generosity. Tuesday, December 1st is #GivingTuesday, a global day to celebrate the good in our community. Please celebrate with us and make your Community Investment gift to our school, using this link. Your contribution to Community Investment makes a difference to me inside our classroom; it supports my ability to teach your child with a teaching apprentice alongside me and for us to continue to offer a robust specials curriculum including music, French, art, and PE. Please consider giving to support the work of Archway Arete and teachers like me.
LESSONS
