Valentine Boxes
On Thursday February 14th, we will be having our Valentine’s Day Celebration! Your kiddo is invited to create a Valentine’s box at home and then bring it to school on that day. I will be sending more information home about the party as time gets closer.



At Home Reading
It is very important that your kiddo reads nightly at home.  If you would like to have books sent home on your child’s level, just let me know!  I have been hesitant to send books home because sometimes they are not returned.  The only thing that I ask is that when your child is done reading the books, they send them right back to school.  Then I will send out a new selection of books.
