Some time this week we will do a locker cleaning and make sure any leftover winter gear gets sent home.
Thanks again for taking the time to work with your child at home, whether it's reading to them, having them read to you, working on math, or getting those sight words down. All the hard work is paying off and every one of these Kindergarteners is ready for first grade. I can't believe we are down to only a month of Kindergarten! I'm so incredibly proud of their growth in school!
Here's what we'll be covering this week.
