Week of January 12th

 

    

Happy January!

 

The children have done an AMAZING job getting back into our classroom routine this week—I am so proud of them! Just a reminder that your child should be reading their book baggie Monday–Thursday with an adult to practice fluency and comprehension.

As the weather gets colder, 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. Please be sure your child brings a drink and a separate snack from their lunch.
