         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 13^th. 

         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).
