We had fun this week! 

We enjoyed several guest readers this week.  Mrs. Lewy, retired music teacher, brought her guitar and we sang stories.  We also enjoyed stories by other Henry Ford Students.

We also really enjoyed seeing the play Alice in Wonderland at the Marqui Theatre in Northville. The play had music and songs. It was terrific!

Please continue to remind your child to read everyday and talk to them about what they are reading.
