Partnering with Parents Parents are welcome to come to the classroom and run a Book Club with their own child’s group. I will send an email letting you know which times are available and what days and you are welcome to attend any of those days/times. Respond to upcoming email if you would like to participate. I will email with opportunities as they arise.

“Hey Look What I Learned Today!” In the front of your child’s folder you will see a sheet, as often as is possible, explaining what we learned/studied that day. Look for quiz or test scores to keep you updated. If the child keeps these sheets in a binder at home for the entire year, I will have a treat for them at the end of the year. Please feel free to email me.
