Monday's Tattler

Good Morning!

This is Easter Week! We will be exploring Easter complete with Passion and bunnies. It's a nice combo.

Miss Kelly has been testing the children in her class, and she asked to have report cards held another week so she could send the test results home with each child with the report card. We were very happy to do this. If you have any questions about the Kindergarten Standards Achievement test, please see Miss Kelly.

We will also be working on handwriting across the whole school. This seems to be something the kids like to do, and we have been having contests to see whose handwriting is best for their class. Handwriting is an important part of communication, and the ability to communicate through good handwriting is an important step to going off to school. Our job is to see that our children go off to school with the best abilities.

This is a short week. We will be out on Friday because of Good Friday.

On Thursday, we will send Easter baskets home. These baskets represent your child's behavior during Lent. We don't use candy during Lent, and when your child keeps his medal or does something extra wonderful, he receives the gift of candy for his basket. Some of these baskets are brimming. One child will have to have an auxiliary bag! If your child is not at school much, his bag will not be as full as a child who is at school every day, so don't worry, part time parents.

When we come back to school after Easter, it's push push push to the school finish line. We are still honing the summer program, and by May 1 we will be sending home an itinerary for summer. There are some changes being made that you will just love.

Have a great week!
