Dear Families,
Happy Wednesday, and a blessed, relaxing and Happy Thanksgiving to all of our woderful families!
On behalf of Mrs. Rocco and myself, I would like to express our gratitude for sharing your most precious possessions with us on a daily basis. They are all truly little miracles, and they bring us much joy and love!! Who is luckier than we?
The children continue to work well and I am super proud of them. We continued sounding out words this past week, and I have to say that I am impressed at how many of them knew the sounds for their letters! Bravo :)
The children are compiling a journal that they will bring home at the end of the school year - you will be very excited to see their growth!!
At home, please continue to help your child to practice writing their names and coloring slowly.
I hope that you all enjoy your weekends;enjoy each other and enjoy this beautiful world!
