Friday, April 20th Room 4 Newsletter Dear Families, Ms. Sarah and I love when your scholars bring in their books to share and read aloud to their classmates! We absolutely love seeing these young students get excited about reading. Please make sure if you send your child to school with a book that it has their name in the front cover. Just a friendly reminder that toys and stuffies are only permitted on show and tell days. (Wednesday’s) If you send your child with toys or stuffies for after school care please make sure it stays in their backpack all day. Graduation is just a few months away! We have already started rehearsing the songs that will be in our program. If you would like to practice I have attached the songs to this letter. The auction is just around the corner. Each class will be putting together a basket for the auction, our class’ theme is baking! We already have a cookie jar for baking basket to go with the cookie jar theme.
