Hello Families!
I am so happy the freezing weather is behind us. Tomorrow is pajama and slipper day. Please also remember to bring snow gear for recess. 

Look in your child’s backpack for a Book Order from Scholastic. You can now place orders using the QR code from the paper copy or you can go to clubs.scholastic.com to place the order. The book order will be due next Thursday, the 25th. 

From this point forward, I will do newsletters every other week, unless there is something important that I need to communicate with families.

Please, please, please practice the math facts with your child. We are continuing  to work on becoming fluent with our multiplication math facts. When they are fluent with all facts from 1-100, they will make a touchdown and earn an ice cream treat. I will continue to send home flashcards as they pass their facts.  

Thank you!
