Happy Fall everyone! Please be mindful of the cooler temperatures as the seasons change and be sure your child dresses accordingly. We will continue to go outside for recess for quite some time and they should be prepared with the proper outerwear.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- We are finishing the novel, The Hundred Dresses, by Eleanor Estes. This book was written 75 years ago but is still so relevant today. Talk to your kids at home about connections we’ve made as I read the book to them. We will be doing a dress design and writing activity as a culmination of the story.
