**Thank you wonderful parents for all you do to make our students successful!  **
Welcome Back! I hope you and your family had two wonderful breaks!
Please continue to read, read, read! Your child must continue earning “Reading Counts” points and should Lexile by the end of the year.
We are quickly approaching the 100th day of school. We will have a special celebration this day, more information will come home next week.
We are now in the winter months and cold weather is here. We go outside every day for recess if weather permits.
Sniffles and tons of germs are in our classroom so encourage your child to practice good hygiene habits.
