What a beautiful weekend! I keep telling the class spring is coming and then we get another bout of snow. This is the first week of our April curriculum. Don't forget that this Wednesday is class picture day. Our time slot is at 9:30, but we are asking everyone to be here by 9:00 so we can be lined up and ready to go.
Coming Up....
Book Fair: April 8-12, held in second floor library until 6 PM each night. Books are buy one get one free!!
Soda bottles: We are in need of 2 liter soda bottles with the lids for our class. We are hoping to get enough to make planters to use in the spring for each child.
