Notes from your teacher:

Please ask your child, or their teacher, if they are in need of new supplies (crayons, markers, glue, pencil box, colored pencils). The extra set of markers and crayons were passed out in January. However, some students did not have an extra set or their extra set is already worn out. Colored pencils were not on the original supply list, however the kiddos really love using them.

The class has really been into sharing the books that they have written and illustrated, as well as reading books from home to class. I absolutely LOVE their enthusiasm and creativity. If your child has a book that they would like to share please practice reading it with them to help ensure their success when they read it to the class.
