Welcome back from Winter Break!

Thank you to those who sent in extra pencils and glue sticks. The children go through them so quickly!

Thank you also to our class moms and those who sent in goodies for our Valentines Day snack. The children had a great time exchanging Valentines with each other!

We will be celebrating the 100th Day of school this Friday! We will have a special singing guest, and we have lots of fun things planned for this day! A memo will go home on Monday to explain what your child needs.

We will also celebrate “Read Across America” in honor of Dr. Seuss’s birthday. If your child has any Dr. Seuss books at home, he/she may bring them in to share this week.

Have a great week, and email me with any questions or concerns: [email protected]
