FOCUSED AND RELAXED
Weekly Update
for the Week Ending
Friday, April 26
Dear
Room 15 Families,
I
hope you all had great fun at Edna’s Garden Faire on Sunday.
You
are invited to join us for our Readers’ Theatre presentation of Six
Fables on Friday, May 3 at 8:50 in the MPR. This is a very informal performance, but the
kids really wanted to use the big
stage. We hope to see you there for our
skits. We expect that this will last
about 30 minutes.
•REVISION INQUIRY: We would really love to have you come in
and share your experience about how you use mistakes in your life. More

CONGRATULATIONS

Weekly Math Review
