Week 35

Good evening,

I hope everyone had a great R&R 3-day weekend! This week we have a couple of very important things. We will be doing our DIBELS reading assessment all week long to test for reading fluency and comprehension. We also have the Mother's Day Tea on Friday from 8:15-9:15! Feel free to come on in at 8 and check in after dropping your child off. We will head downstairs and meet you as soon as our morning announcements are done and attendance is taken. :)

Here's what we have this week:
