Thank you to all who were able to join us for Back To School Night. It was such a pleasure to speak to so many of you. I will be in touch with class volunteers soon to discuss future celebrations. Thank you in advance for your time and efforts. Thank you to all Mystery Readers who volunteered! There are still time slots needed to be filled for those who haven’t signed up yet. Please remember that all parents, guardians, older siblings and grandparents are welcome!  I hope that everyone is able to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to be fluent role model readers for the class!  I am flexible with dates and times so please email me so we can make an arrangement that will work for you. I will send a note home soon with dates/ times still available.

We have snack time everyday. Please be sure your child has a healthy snack to enjoy mid morning.

We have Art this Thursday and all children will need a smock. Please send one in as soon as possible if you have not done so already.
