I will be out of the country this week Tues-Fri for a family wedding. If you have questions during the week, please email me. If your pick up routine will be changing for the day, please call the office so they can notify the substitute.
Please remind your child to be on their best behavior, we have been practicing and reviewing class rules while I am out.
Families, don't forget to use SMARTY ANTS at home. Log in information was given at back to school night. This is an amazing reading program that is also INDIVIDUALIZED! If your child still needs help with letter sounds, it will help them with that. If your child is ready to read CVC words, it will challenge them in that.
