:)
I can hardly believe
that it is already February! The days,
weeks and months have been zooming by since the start of the school year in
August! We are almost to the 100th
day of school!
The rest of the year
will go by just as quickly as the past 5 months! As we start to turn our focus
onto how we’d like to finish the year off strong, start preparing yourselves
for the pace to pick up just a bit. There
is still a lot to cover in first grade!
Make sure your children are getting a good night’s rest so they are
ready for the days ahead!
This month, we are
focused on friendship, and how to be kind and caring to those around us!
Have
wonderful month:)
