Week of March 14th-18th

Hi Families,

I apologize for updating the blog a day late. We have a busy last week of the quarter. Thanks to all the families who came to snacks with students, the children really loved having you visit.

Recently the children have been really interested in dinosaurs. A few weeks ago one of our speech language pathologists showed the children a song by We are Giants, called, I am a Paleontologist, and ever since then the children's interest in dinosaurs has grown. We will be doing some dinosaur themed activities this week and when we come back from Spring Break.

Reminders:

Progress Reports:
Will be sent on Thursday and Friday. If you need more than one copy, please let me know so that I can put multiple copies in your child's backpack.

March Spirit Days:
Wednesday-Pajamas
Thursday-Crazy hair/Saint Patrick's day
Friday-Superhero/Princess

Spring Break:
Spring Break starts on Monday, March 21-April 1st.

Have a wonderful Tuesday :)
