A Note From Mrs. Waters
Since we have started the ABC countdown we will no longer be sending homework. Your child should still be playing the math games to practice their fluency, and we will continue to send books home for the next a couple of weeks. Also please be checking the ABC Countdown to the end of the year in case your child needs to wear something or bring something in to school that day.
On Thursday, May 10, we will be having a Writer's Cafe. We would like to invite you, moms and dads, to come and hear a poem written by your child. As this is near American Mother's Day, there will be a special poem read for the mothers. This will take place in our classroom at 8:50-9:20am.
Next week your child will begin swimming for PE. Please see the attached letter from Mr. Pratley for more information.
Below you will see what we will be working on in class, information from the office and other important dates.
