It's almost spring break!…..3/23-3/27

Good morning parents and guardians,

I hope everyone is enjoying this warm weekend.  We still had a few students out this week, hoping everyone gets better and avoids getting sick. To prevent more students from getting sick please remind your children to cough/sneeze into their elbow, use tissue, wash their hands, keep their hands out of their mouths and just be careful in general. With this said, I would really appreciate it if I could possibly get some Kleenex boxes donated. If your are able to donate any of these items, THANK YOU!

NEW HOMEWORK:

The kindergarten team is doing their part to help save paper. As you may have seen, our homework packets have changed. Math has stayed the same (2 practice pages) but Language Arts has been scaled down to fit on one page and students are required to attach their proof of work to receive full credit. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me or stop by the classroom.
