IMPORTANT NOTES:
- We are starting a very important unit that teaches kids to be their best selves, think positively and take responsibility for their actions. We will be using a book called, “The 7 Habits of Happy Kids,” and parent notes will be emailed each week to make you familiar with the lessons. I strongly encourage you to discuss these habits with your children at home.
