Here's what we will be covering when we come back from spring break.


Important Reminder:  We have a field trip on Tuesday, March 26 from 1-3:15PM.  We will be heading to the Lowry Nature Center.  Please make sure your child has the following:

  • comfortable walking shoes (or boots if it's snowing)
  • dress for the weather (raincoat, winter gear)
  • We will eat lunch before we leave. No packed lunch necessary.
Who knows what the weather will be like on that day, so please make sure your child is ready to be outside for the afternoon.
