Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 9-20-13

Parents,

Fall is upon us, even though the weather has been warm!  Next week the lows will be back down in the 40's.  Our level does recess at 9:50, and it is often chilly at that time.  Please make sure that your child starts thinking about the temperature as they are getting ready to leave for school.  A jacket or warm sweatshirt might be needed next week.

Book Order.
  Orders are due by September 30th.  Use class activation code: GJLYC to order online.  This is open to both classes.

Have a great night,
Mrs. Dressel and Mr. Pransky
