Special Events & Projects
- As I am sure you are all aware, we have a new class guinea pig named Peanut Butter. The students are taking turns each week caring for him as well as getting to hold and cuddle him. We are allowing Peanut Butter to go home with students on the weekends. When it is your child’s turn, please advise me if you (and your family) would like to have him for the weekend.
- We are all finished skating for this year. A big HUGE thank you to the parents who came out, tied skates, helped with helmets, and watched our class slip, slid, and skate!
- If you have any questions or concerns about your child, the classroom, or their education please come and talk with myself or Dean at any time. We are here to facilitate the best possible education for your child and encourage open communication. Thank you!
