Dear Families,

I hope that everyone had relaxing spring break!  We have a lot to do and learn in the next nine weeks of school.  Here is a look at what is coming up in April.

 

Home        A new packet of Home Links will be sent home next week.  Please be sure your child

Links         is completing these.   Your child should be able to do these independently.  If you have questions feel free to ask.

 

Science      We have started a new unit on plants and seeds. Ask your child to be a student teacher and teach all that he/she is learning.

 

Recess            It may be April but we still have snow and cold weather.  The playground can be wet and muddy this time of year so please be sure your child has inside and outside shoes as well the appropriate clothing for outside recess.

 

Conferences Parent-teacher conferences will be held next Wednesday, April 17th from 3:30-6:30 pm. 

              I am not meeting with all parents this time.  I have already sent notes home to those parents that I would like to have a conference with.  If you did not receive a note for a conference and would like one please let me know and we can set up a time to meet.
