Happy May! Our month is filling up

with exciting performances and
activities please feel free to come
and join us for any event! Our
annual Garden Clean Up and BBQ
is happening the evening of
Wednesday, May 6th. I encourage
you to come down and help with our
class plot. With more activities
going on and warmer weather, I
notice that home reading for some
families begins its slow slide off the
daily schedule. Please make
reading daily (15 - 20 minutes) with
your child a priority many reading
skills are developed through daily
practice or time on task. Take a
look at our website to see new
