Weekly Reminders:
-Wed, Apr25 and Thurs, Apr26 – Letters/letter sounds final test. I will be sitting with your child, one last time to complete their final scores. PLEASE, PLEASE review letters/sounds with your child so that your child can score high on their final test. Wouldn’t it be AWESOME if all 16 of my kids were able to recognize all 26 capital letters and 26 lowercase letters?! Hehe, I am sure we can do it with a little help from our parents.

PreK and Young Fives will team up and use our social skills lessons to establish fair ways to join play. Students will see a video of 2 kids playing and a 3rd child sitting alone, wanting to join the other 2 kids playing. Teachers and students will have a discussion of what could happen to encourage fair play for all children. We will be inviting community members and administrative personnel to our classroom for this lesson.
