Fun in the Sun!










Welcome Baby Adalynne!

We are excited to share that Ms. Leighton had her baby girl, Adalynne Hope on June 6th. The kids were so excited to see pictures of Ms. Leighton's precious bundle of joy!  



We sent Ms. Leighton and Addie a picture to share how excited we are! It made their day!



FIELD DAY TOMORROW!

Please remember to have your child...

  • Apply sunblock and bug spray at home (if needed).  
  • Wear sneakers
  • Bring a change of clothes, towel, and water bottle (Please label all items from home!)
Thank you for your support! We are looking forward to a fun day!

Before things start to get crazy around here with the last few weeks of school, I wanted to send you a blog post about great resources that you can access over the summer with your soon-to-be-2nd Grader! (can you believe it?) Below are some ideas that you can use over the summer to continue stretching your brain with all the strategies you learned in first grade.

Here are links to some of the resources:
