Reminders for the week of March 25-29

Hi Families!
Welcome to Spring!  With Spring comes all types of weather, especially mud!  We love mud and sometimes we get muddy too.  Please make sure that your child has extra clothes at school for those occasional accidents.  Indoor shoes are required at school and please make sure that their indoor shoes still fit too.  Here are some reminders for the upcoming week.
1) Monday is Day 3 of our cycle
2) Poetry Folder went home today and it is due back on Monday
3) Assessment Folder went home today and please take a moment to go through it with your child.  We have been working on lots and we should be proud of all our efforts!
Have a great weekend with your children!
