Spring is among us!

I know you have all received a letter regarding extending our school day but I wanted to remind you that this officially started today. It may be an adjustment to the students but it is definitely beneficial for everyone in the long run. We are also going to transition in to ending our rest time after this week. We have shortened this period and will refrain from them entirely after Friday. You should see your child's rest mat, blanket, etc. come home on Friday and you do not need to return this.

I would like to extend my thanks to everyone who made it in for conferences last week. I would also like to remind you that we have an early dismissal next week due to Easter break. The students will be getting out at 1:00pm on Thursday the 1st and there is no school that Friday. We will, however, be having school on Monday the 6th in order to make up one of our snow days. This is a change from the original schedule so please be aware.

At this time in reading we are working on the sound of D and we are learning about wheels, in math we are learning to estimate, and in science we are learning about wood and paper. Ask your child what they are learning about these things.

In the near future I will be sending home 1 more book order for the year.
