Seussical Jr. Sold Out! New Showing Added The prouction has been so popular that the 9:30am showing is sold out. We are 30 seats short, but they have added an 11:45 showing. If you are able/willing to attend the 11:45, please let either Teacher Jaylene, Teacher Sally, or Teacher Katie know ASAP. Thank you! This Week - Finishing Spring The kids have been having so much fun learning about Spring that we are going to have one more week of Spring learning. We will talk about the parts of a flower in more detail, do some fun flower projects, and continue to wait for our butterflies to emerge from their chrysalis. Feel free to come in and see them!

Progress Reports/Assessments Parents - Teacher Jaylene is working hard to get all the assessing done to be able to send home progress reports the end of May. We are looking for a few parent volunteers to come in over the next two weeks to help Teacher Sally in the classroom while Teacher Jaylene is out with students. We need someone from approximately 9:00am - 10:45am. There will be a sign-up sheet outside the classroom. Thanks!
