It's Spring!  Maybe?!  Think positive--I saw tulips just the other day! :-) As we approach the end of the school year, please talk with you Kindergartner about continuing to work hard every day.  We will continue with our daily routines until the very last day of school and it's so very important that everyone be here every day ready to keep focused on their job--listening, thinking and learning!  We do have some fun events planned during these final weeks and they will be much more fun if everyone is in school, on time and ready to learn.  Remind your child of the importance of the 4 Be's--Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Safe and Be Your Best!  We'll continue to work hard to prepare for next year, so we need everyone to come to school with a positive attitude and an eagerness to reach their goals!  

Please check out the video links for a look at a couple of our Art Adventure lessons with Mr. Scott.  He has been such a pleasure to work with this year and the kids are excited and challenged with every lesson.  Thanks Mr. Scott!!!
