Session 8 April/May

Spring is officially here, as well as the nice weather. Let's hope we can hold off the 3-digit temps for as long as we can! We are wrapping up the alphabet, as well as getting ready for the end of year assessments. Please remember to work with your student daily-with the areas they are working on. I will be sending out an email to each individual family stating what these areas are. Reading daily to your student is important for all students, all ages. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Session 7- March/April

Wow! It is finally feeling like spring! Hopefully it doesn't get too hot, too quickly, because this is the time when we like to have lots of outdoor activities and games during preschool.

Please let me know if you are interested in summer classes and/or for the fall of 2011.
