Peek at Our Week

May is here! The month is filled with special days! Keep your pink calendar close to make sure your child doesn't miss out on anything.  : ) I'll do my best to have the students put reminders in their Passports. May Calendar

 

Thank you to the parents who volunteered their time...and "energy" to our class trip to the Science Museum. : ) The kids had a wonderful time exploring, playing, and learning.
