Rm 5 Classroom Wish List

I will send home the Wish List letter and envelope on September 11th.  If you need another one, please let me know.
The students and I greatly appreciate donations made to our classroom wish list. Just make a check out to Washington school, put "Dekker 3rd Gr Wish List" on the memo and enclose it in an envelope. I turn in receipts of purchases made for our class, to be reimbursed from the class wish list.  THANK YOU SO MUCH!
