Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten will have a fun filled morning at our school. Please dress them in active/weather appropriate clothing (who know what the weather will be then lol).
Volunteers needed!
At the end of the year, I like to take the kids to Candy Cane Park, have a treat, and celebrate summer birthdays as well. We will do this on May 20th. I would love to have two volunteers join me. We will walk from the school there. We would leave about 8:30 am and come back close to 11:00am. If you are not able to volunteer, you could contribute by providing a treat. I want your children to be safe. If I do not have volunteers to help me walk the kids to the park, I may need to cancel this year. Here is a sign-up genius to help coordinate. Thanks for your support!

Reading with your children
For those who are starting the reading bags. Please take care of these books. Some of these are my personal books. Please make sure your children respect these books.
HERE ARE A FEW TIPS AND DEAS TO HELP CULTIVATE A LOVE OF READING AT HOME!
- Let them hold the book as you read
- Allow them to turn the pages . Invite them to read with you
- Point to the words as you read so they associate words with reading
- Read the same 2-3 books every day for a week, then switch.
- Read to them daily
- Allow them to choose books
- Talk about the books after reading them
- Be excited about reading with your child. It's contagious!
