Hi Moms and Dads,

We had another great week.  The highlight of our week was the Valentine Party.  The party was wonderful and the children really enjoyed it.  The decorations were so festive and set the tone for the party.  Thank you to all the moms and dads who helped in any way.  

The children are bringing home Ziploc bags with readers.  Please listen to your child read and return the book in the Ziploc bag.  The children and I are so excited about their reading progress.  Your listening to them read really helps and encourages them.
