It is hard to believe that we are at the end of the school year! It has been a great year and I have really enjoyed getting to know and teaching your precious children!
A very special thanks to Mrs. Hicks, Mrs. Jacobs, Mrs. Khant, Mrs. Knieling, Mrs. Lebish, Miss Pat, Mrs. Schaffer, Mrs. Sigler, and Mrs. Warren for helping us during center time this year. Thank you Mrs. Preston for teaching Jr. Achievment to our class! All the students enjoyed the lessons and they learned a lot about jobs in the community.
Book in the Bag Program has ended. Please return all books. I love this program because it teaches children to keep looking until they find that special book that they really enjoy, and that reading is FUNdamental!
We hope to have butterfies very soon! Please ask your child about the different stages of a butterfly's life. Some of our plant seeds have sprouted and students will take home their plants very soon!
