Please continue to practice those facts! They are so im-

portant!

plored opportunity cost and pro’s/con’s of choosing one over

another.

Dear Parents: Greetings from Room 207! Wow! What a week! I just wanted to let you know that students worked very hard this week. Things can get pretty stressful during testing week and I am so proud of my students! Thank you for sending them to school well-rested, with healthy snacks, and prepared with a “Can-Do” attitude! Being comfortable on test day is always half the bat-tle and I appreciate the extra time and care you spent making sure they were ready to go! We were lucky to get some “extra” recess in on these beautiful days and I am so proud of them for giving their best effort! Have a great weekend! Love, Ms. Harter
