         Time is going so quickly!  We only have eight weeks of school left!  I love these kids and I will miss them when they go.  We will be doing lots of important learning during these last weeks.  Please continue to make school an important priority.  Every child has made remarkable improvements since the beginning of the year.  Thank you for your support at home—it is greatly appreciated!
         I will be placing a Scholastic book order in a couple of weeks. I will send the flyers home in your child’s homework folder.  It will be done on line and that information is also on the flyers. The order will close on Monday, April 13th. 
         Please return the march reading calendar with your child’s reading time recorded on it for the free pizza.  Remember our goal is 15 minutes a night for five nights a week (300 minutes a month).
         THANKS for all you do!  Please call with any questions or concerns.

      Please remember we have been asked to keep our outside doors locked for safety purposes.  We have permission to unlock them from 12:40-12:50.  If your child attends afternoon kindergarten, please bring him/her during these times.  The teachers have their lunch breaks and are often not in their rooms until this time.  We do not want children in our rooms unattended. 
          Kindergarten registration will be held on Wednesday, March 18th from 12:30-3:00 in the school gym.  Please tell your friends and family who have a child turning 5 by September 1st to come and register their child so we will have an accurate count.

              Thank you for coming to your SEP Conferences!  It was wonderful to meet with each of you!  I sure appreciate the help and support that you give to each of your children and to me!  It is a pleasure to know each of you!
         It is exciting to see the growth in each student as we continue to work hard and prepare for first grade.  We will begin our unit on non-living things and continue to work hard in all areas of the curriculum. 
         Have a wonderful week!
