Summer Birthdays
If your child has a summer birthday and would like to celebrate it during the school year, just drop me a note or an e-mail. You do not have to send treats. We usually let that person be the line leader for the day and also give him/her a sticker & a pencil. It just makes them feel special for the day:)

In math, we have been working on geometric patterns. We just completed chapter 14 and will begin chapter 15 soon.

Character Counts
Our pillar for the month of March is “fairness.” Please have your child wear orange on every Friday in March. Thanks.
