Dear Parents,
Happy New Year!! Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Trent and I wanted to give each of you a special thank you for your kind gifts, cards, etc… Also, we would like to say a very special thank you to the room parents who organized our great holiday parties, and all the parents who attended and made the day extra special. It was great getting to spend some time with you.

2nd Quarter Report Card Testing: 2nd quarter report card testing has begun. Please continue to work with your child on 2nd quarter skills. They must know all 26 letters, sounds of the alphabet, writing the letter correctly, counting to 100 by 1’s, and counting up to 20 objects (toys, etc...). We only have 8 school days with each group before 2nd Quarter Report Cards are due. We have begun testing all Kindergarten for the end of 2nd quarter skills. Assessments are 1 on 1 with each child and take up to 25 minutes each. If your child comes home with papers that do not have a smiley face on it, please understand. We are working very hard to complete all required instruction for the day, and all report card testing each day, and may not get to check every child’s paper until we are finished with testing.
