Monday is our last day of Happily Ever After. Now, that school is coming to a close we are wrapping up the reading unit. The rest of the time we will be working on the basics with the students.

Pre-kindergarten: Parents, please start working with your child at home on how to tie shoes. Also, please work on a phone number you would like your child to know along with their address. If you bring in a piece of paper with a phone number and address, then I can work with your child so they know the information.

Preschool: Parents, please keep asking/telling your child when their birth-date is and keep working on basic skills such as letters and their sounds, shapes, colors, and numbers.
