Our Learning
Home-School Connection
It was so nice meeting most of you at Open House last week! I am looking forward to an amazing year with all of you. Each day I will be sending home the Weekly Homework And Little Extras (W.H.A.L.E.) folders. W.H.A.L.E. folders are very important. Not only do they contain communication between home and school, completed work, forms, etc., but they also are a good tool to help your child learn routine, responsibility and ownership. Please check and send back the folder each day. 
