Thank you for sending in the white t-shirts, gloves for Earth Day, and for your support. We really appreciate all of your help this year. We are ready for 1st grade, and this has been the best class that we have ever had.

The last week of school we will have special events each day, such as game day, pajama and book day, and puzzle day.  More information will come home about  this.

Have a super summer, and watch for the summer packet of skill sheets to come home, OK?  Keep on reading and writing.
