Nine of the Twenty-eight Were in Class Today

Hi. We miss you if you are not one of the nine at school today. We went to Reading, Math, Library, and Music today. We had a great game of basketball in the fitness time with 5 girls (I was one) against 5 boys. The nets on the playground are so bent I was surprised at the made shots. Girls won. In a class where usually the boys outnumber the girls, 19 to 9. It was a proud moment that will not soon be relived. The last twenty minutes of our school day, we caught up on Spelling and Cursive review on our individual practice sheets that met the needs shown on the beginning of the year quiz. Your sheet is waiting you on your desk.

Parents if you are wanting work for your invalid, the 11 of us that ended the day on Monday put together all the homework for the week and placed it on the missing student's desks. It is now moved to their mailbox at the front of the room. Feel free to stop in and pick it up as needed. Three of the missing 19 students had parents that wanted work. I understand if the illness has gripped your household and you just can't think of homework at this time. When you can, we can discuss what was missed and hopefully fill the holes in learning created by this wide spread illness.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hope to see you at school again soon.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Gracie Johnston
