Summer School
Summer
school registration forms came home in your child’s take home folder several
weeks ago. Forms have to be completed
ONLINE by May 2nd. I encourage everyone
to attend summer school. Even if your child is doing well academically, summer
break is very long. Most students lose
some of the progress they made during the school year. Keep that in mind while making your summer
plans.
Read! Read! Read!
Can
you believe that first grade is almost over? That means that end of the year
reading assessments are right around the corner. Willard has very high reading
expectations. Please make time to read
with your child nightly. Thank you all for your support!
Wonder Table
Now
that spring has finally arrived, I would love to update our wonder table. Keep an eye out for spring time items that we
can observe. Your child is invited to bring in budding flowers, interesting
plants, and yes…even insects (no spiders please)! All I am asking is that you
make sure all insects are in a secure container. We will observe them and then release them
outside. Keep your eyes open for signs
of spring!
