If you're looking for something extra to work on during spring break, ABCya.com and Starfall.com have great reading and math activities for students.
Important Reminder: We have a field trip on Tuesday, March 25 from 1:00-3:15. 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. Also, if you would like to meet us there and enjoy the field trip with us, you are more than welcome to do so. :) Please let me know if you plan on doing this, as you will need to fill out a school volunteer form. Thanks!
