Important Information

1.     Our Spring Break journals are ready to go!!  We encourage you to have your child record one fun and interesting sentence about each day during the holiday and to make a picture to go with it.  It will be the perfect opportunity to use the “word wall” you picked up at conferences (if you did not grab one at conferences, let us know and we will send one home for you).  Please make sure that your child brings the journal back to school on Monday the 1^st, as we will be sharing with our friends.  Mrs. Fogel and Ms. Watts will also keep a journal to share on Monday.  THANKS!!

2.     Due to the bad weather on Monday, March 18^th, our gymnastics show has been moved to Monday, April 1^st (first day back after the break).  There will NOT be an after school session this day.  Students are asked to meet teachers in the library at 5:30 for the 5:45 show.  We hope you can come and celebrate all their accomplishments with us!

3.     We would also like to remind families that after Spring Break, we will not be supervising children at recess.  There will be other teacher supervisors that the children are familiar with who will be outside supervising at this time.  Students are asked to speak with these supervisors if problems arise.

Have a spectacular Spring Break!!!! J
