Homework this week :

This week we will reinforce at home Math “Where is a big shelf for a big book?”: Think aloud about simple problems your child can help solve: “This book is a problem. It’s too big for this shelf. Can you help me find a shelf that’s big enough to hold it?” Be supportive of your child’s choice, even if it’s too small. Just encourage him or her to try another shelf a little bigger.

Other upcoming events:

Last Friday Braydon Plummer brought cupcakes (that he made with Mom) to celebrate the freedom of our five beautiful butterflies. We let them fly outside at the playground and our Little Monkeys were so excited, some of them helped the butterflies come out from the cage. “Thank you” again to Mrs. Jeannine Plummer for providing this wonderful experience to our children (and the Teachers).

Please remember our last day of school is Friday, June 15th. Sff! will provide care until 12:30pm. Teachers will attend a staff meeting  after 1:30pm in preparations to the Summer Camp session.

Thank you for your support.

Have a great week!!!!
