Week of February 23rd

 

    

Hello! 💛

Where did February go? I am so proud of the AMAZING job the children are doing in the classroom. They continue to work hard and grow every single day!

 

Just a reminder that your child should be reading their book baggie Monday–Thursday with an adult to practice fluency and comprehension. This small daily practice makes a BIG difference! 📚

 

Please remember to send your child to school with a jacket or sweatshirt so they stay warm during our 20-minute recess.

 

We also have a daily snack time that lasts about 10 minutes. Be sure your child brings a drink and a separate snack from their lunch.

 

Thank you for your continued support at home. We are working as a team, and it shows! 💙

Warmly,
Mrs. Fornaro
