Happy Spring! I hope this message finds you all well and enjoying this beautiful day. I can not believe that March is already coming to a close. This year has just flown by! Here is what you need to know at the end of this month and important dates to remember as we begin our spirit week. Have a wonderful week!

March is Reading Month:

Reading Packs: Make sure your child is spending about 10-15 minutes reading at night on the books, letters/words you find in the reading packs. This will help your child SO much reviewing their personal bags each night! All bags have been switched so make sure you child is practicing books they receive this week. All reading packs, and personal books at home count toward March Reading Logs!
