News of the Week
March 14-18
Dear Parents,
Each week, please see below for the skills our class will be studying. Anything that you can do to support them at home is appreciated! You may notice that we spend more than one week on particular skills as they are meant to take longer than one week to cover in class.
- Mrs. Williams
Important Reminders!
- Information for our SECOND field trip of the year is coming home today on a pink half-sheet of paper. You may pay again through My Payments Plus or let me know if you need a paper form.
- Report cards will come home on Friday, March 25th
- The kids' bookbags are full of all the writing from this 9-weeks, be sure to sift through it and save all the good ones!
- No School on Friday, April 1st
- Please try to make sure there is at least one snack sent in each day with your child. Maybe it could be their special job to remember to pack that each evening. Also, many of them have been bringing candy as their snack these days; I told them that I won't be letting them eat that for a snack as of Monday. =)
