Rest of the Year

Hello Parents! Well, we are getting very close to ending the school year already! Boy how time as flown! It just seems like yesterday that it was August. Your child has blossomed over the school year and I could not be more proud of them!
I just wanted to let you know that this Friday (5/18) is the last day to turn in homework packets. From now until the last day of school, there will be NO homework packet OR spelling homework. This week we are finishing up all of our curriculum so I will be reviewing and reteaching skills from now until the last day of school. SOOOOO, believe your child when they say that there is no more homework....they are actually correct on this one!
