We are asking for a 5.00 donation.  Any leftover monies will be put toward our last day of school ice cream sundae party.

The children may bring Valentine Cards to pass out.  Please only have them sign their name on the cards.  Do not fill out the “TO” part.  This will make handing cards out easier.

We have 4 girls and 8 boys in class.

If you are interested in practicing at home using some of the songs we use in the classroom please use the links below:
