Dear Parents:
We have six more weeks together in first grade. Can you believe how fast this year has gone? The end of the year is always the busiest time and is full of extra activities. We are still learning! This is the time to fine tune what we have learned and put the “finishing touches” on our kids before we send them on to second grade. We will be doing a lot of assessing and evaluating to make sure they are all ready. Be on the lookout for dates and reminders for important things happening in our school and our classroom. Have a great week!
-Mrs. Pace
