Week at a Glance-October 12th-16th

HAPPY FALL, YALL!

I truly cannot believe that the fall season is in full swing and that the first 9 weeks is almost over! However, I am so thankful to spend each day with your precious, precious girls and would not want it any other way :) Please sign up for student-led conferences, and as always-let me know if you have any questions!

Love, Mrs. Burns
