Mrs. Barlow’s Class Please view our daily blog for information on student learning and upcoming events. 

I will send home weekly letters and post them on this blog.  This will be an eye into the learning of our classroom each week.  It will have our weekly spelling words, content information we are learning that week, reminders, and homework posted.  I hope this communication will help you have conversations with your child about what they are learning!
