Class News
Last week we had a visit from Mr. Tim and the Leprechaun. With Mr. Tim we worked on our soccer skills (no hands!). On Friday, we walked into a classroom that was quite a mess from the Leprechaun. We loved seeing the toilet dyed green and footprints leading the way! We had fun finding the classroom a mess and putting it back together.
Schedule Changes this week!
Tuesday - No school (Institute Day)
Friday Family day - Please RSVP here!- No regular school hours

Something fun to try at home!! This month the class has reviewed and practiced the skills we need to communicate with others. We reviewed a few ‘rules’. One rule we reviewed is personal space.

The class calls these videos ‘plant videos’ : )
