Hi Moms and Dads,

Last week was wonderful!  The children have worked so hard.  They are learning to work in whole group, small groups and independently.  I am very proud of their progress.

We will continue with academic centers.  This gives the children options on academic activities when they finish their assigned work.  We continue to work on listening and following directions and listening while others are talking.  Thank you for all you do at home to reinforce what we are doing at school.
