End of 2nd Trimester

I can't believe how quickly this year is going by!  We have already come to the end of the second trimester (our third one is definitely growing in length with all these snow days... Come On Spring!!!)  Your student will be bringing home their report card on Wednesday, March 4th.  Please review this with them and feel free to contact me with questions about them as well.  If you would also sign and return their envelope that would be great.  I hope you have all enjoyed a little extra time with your kiddo during these cold snowy days.

We had a blast last week with our P.J. party equipped with a movie and Valentine's games.  I need to be better about taking pictures during those times, but things get a little crazy.  Here are a few pictures from a chance we had to work with some Kindergarten students playing a math game.  Enjoy them!
