I hope everyone is feeling better and on the mend! Last week our class was hit with a lot of coughing, sneezing, runny noses, and fevers! Mrs. Cox and myself were trying our best to keep the room sanitized and make sure everyone was taken care of! We are now running low on Clorox wipes. If you could donate a container it would be greatly appreciated! Our class is very close to filling our marble jar for a class reward! Be on the look out for an email, hopefully this week, once this is achieved! Have a great 4 day week!
