Dear Parents,

I hope the long weekend was an enjoyable one for everyone!

A big thank-you to all the parents, our Valentine's Day was sensational! Everyone loved the snacks, treats, and lunch!

Please remember that your child needs to return his/her progress report, signed, to me as soon as possible. If any parents are having difficulty reading the MAP report, please feel free to make an appointment with me so I can better explain it to you.

This week, your child will be inquiring into the following:

Language Arts 

Phonics- This week we will not introduce any new words. Your child will be learning reviewing words through various chants and activities.
