Super job reading!! We won the field trip! There is a note about the trip in your child’s mail.  There was one last week as well.
PLEASE continue to read each night.  The kids are already saying that they are done reading at night because we won! I told them…NO! We still want to keep reading so that they can leave first grade ready for second grade!! J

This week is a review/assessment week.  Report cards will go home on Thursday in your child’s reading folder. 

Reminders
Thursday, April 2nd- Afternoon field trip to the Wexford Civic Center
Friday, April 3rd- 12th: NO SCHOOL- Good Friday and Spring Break.
