!!!!!UPCOMING EVENTS!!!!!

Happy New Year!!! We have started our 3rd Quarter!! WOW!!! Where has the time gone? We will be moving to first grade before we know it!! We are beginning our transition to be first graders by doing away with our nap time :) Some of the students are missing this, but most enjoy not having to lay down anymore. We are using our "skinny" crayons and pencils. We have started Sustained-Silent-Reading (SSR). This is where the students read silently to themselves. We also are doing journals. Your child will be bringing a journal home after each month! Look through them! They are very interesting and CUTE :)
