Peek at Our Week

welcome

 

3-30-2025

I hope everyone had a nice spring break. I was able to go hiking for a few days with my husband. We headed down south....to Iowa. : ) We had a nice time venturing in the sunshine through some great parks. Ledges State Park was free. Look it up if you're ever in the area.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing the students again. With only two months left of school, we still have lots to learn. This week we will learn about the life cycle of a plant and even do some planting of our own.

 

Does your child know their address and important phone numbers? This information is very important for your child to memorize. We have started our mapping unit and will be discussing how we all have different addresses. To help your child understand their address, please show your child your house/apartment number and street name. : )

 

Important Dates:

Thur. Apr. 17......No School - Teacher Prof. Dev.

Fri. Apr. 18.........No School - Easter Break

Thur. Apr. 24......RS Family Picnic 4-7pm at Memorial Park

Please help your child get a good night's sleep each night and start the day with a healthy breakfast. We've got lots of learning to do. Have a great week!
