Ms. Gordon’s Junior Infant Work 8th – 12th June

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all safe and well. This week we will continue to focus only on English and Maths. The majority of you now have all of the Junior Infant books at home so if you would like to complete these books at your own pace then you may also do so.

Parents, thank you so much for your continued support and for sending me pictures of your child’s work. If you have not yet received your child’s end of year report please email me so I can send it to you.  As always if you have any questions or would like to send me work please contact me on my email address; cgordonstjosephs@gmail.com

Thank you,
Ms. Gordon
