I look forward to meeting with you this week (and next)!  I have many wonderful things to share.  I has been encouraging to do March assessments!  The children have come so far, especially since January.

We will begin word spinners this week (a step up from sliders).  These will be in your child's bookbag on Wednesday afternoon.  Please practice at home. 

THANK YOU for your incredible generosity during the Boosterthon this fall.  Our classroom received 122.00 to spend just for our classroom (10%) of our class total!  Honestly, I had no idea that you Lee class parents had donated $1,220.00.   The most in kindergarten classes! Thank you so much.  As a class, we called last week and ordered a "listening station" for our classroom with 4 headsets! Will work with CDs or MP3 players.  The kids are excited, the teacher is excited! Be encouraged as the remaining contributions are being combined to purchase and install playground accessories that are more appropriate for our age student (lower monkey bars, a see-saw).
