Learning Targets

Hi, wonderful families!

We had a short week, but it was packed with lots of learning! Our learners continue to work hard, grow, and build new skills every day. As we enter our second nine weeks, we are so excited to see how much progress and growth your little learners will make. Thank you for your continued support and for being such an important part of our classroom family. We are looking forward to another wonderful nine weeks together!

Morning Arrival Reminder:
Please make sure your child arrives at school before 7:45 a.m. This gives them enough time to unpack, get settled, and be ready to start their day with us.

Daily Snack Reminder:
Please remember to send a snack with your child each day. If it is more convenient, you can place 5 snacks in a Ziploc bag for your child to keep in their backpack. This way, they will have a snack ready for each day of the week!

Thank you for helping us keep our little learners happy, prepared, and ready to learn!

Have a wonderful weekend!
