Our week for May 19-22, 2026

 

Happy Victoria Day on Monday, May 18.  There is no school.  School will resume on Tuesday, May 19!

Here are some reminders for our upcoming week.

1) Tuesday is Day 1 of our cycle, and it's Library.

2) We have no MWW words this week as it's a short week. :)

3) We went  home with our Friday letter.  Please read and return to school on Tuesday.

4) Continue to read and log too!   Reading is vital for children because it builds essential language skills, vocabulary, and cognitive development. It fosters empathy, emotional regulation, and imagination while preparing them for academic success in school. Daily reading also strengthens the parent-child bond, providing stability and fostering a lifelong love of learning.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or ask.

Have a wonderful long weekend making memories with your children.
