Wow! It is hard to believe that we are in the middle of March. This year has flown by. I wanted to let you know that Literacy Centers will come to an end at the end of March.

Happy New Year! I look forward to meeting with you during conference week.....We have a lot to celebrate!

The Kindergarten team has set a math goal for our students to achieve by the end of the year. We would like each student to correctly write the numbers 0-30. This would be a great skill to work on at home.
GOBBLE, GOBBLE, GOBBLE!!!!!! I want to wish all my students a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING. We have so much to be thankful for this time of year. I am thankful for all the boys and girls in my Kindergarten Class. It is a pleasure working with each of you. I hope you eat a lot of turkey and enjoy the time off with your family.
Grandparents and Friends, Thanks for eating lunch with us on Friday. It was a pleasure meeting all of you. Please feel free to eat with us during the school year. It truly makes your grandchild's face light-up.

Happy Fall! I can't believe it is October. We've had a GREAT start to the school year. The kids have adjusted and we are learning a lot of new things. As October begins, the kids will be discussing all the exciting things that take place during the month, especially Halloween. As a team, we have decided to let Kindergarten students dress-up on October 31st (as long as you give them permission). We do ask a few things from you! Please do not allow your child to wear his/her costume to school. Your child may bring it in his/her bookbag to put on at school (other grade levels are not permitted to dress-up). Please do not bring any weapons that accompany the outfit to school. Also, we are asking that your child not have his/her face painted. Please let me know if you have any questions about this day. The Kindergarten Team greatly appreciates ALL your support.
Your Partner in Education,
Lisa Harrison
