JANUARY

We have enjoyed learning about Antarctica, winter, and penguins. We will now begin studying whales and other sea mammals. The students are working hard. We are emphasizing the importance of always doing nice, neat work. The year is going by so very quickly! Thank you for making it so enjoyable and for helping your child have a successful year. Please continue reading with your child each night and send the take home library books back and forth. It really makes a big difference in your child’s reading success!

The students did well on their DIBELS assessment. It is exciting to see improvement in each child. We love to celebrate their successes! Have a wonderful week and thank you again for your support at home.
