Happy Sunday families, 

I hope you all have had a wonderful week. Our grade 1's have had a busy exciting week of learning. Huge thank you to the PAC for organizing the Spring dance I know this was a highlight in our room. Thank you to those kiddos who remembered that it is library on Wednesdays. Another shout out to the kids who continue to participate in our home reading decodable program.
