            Another exciting week has passed in the Pre-K class.  Thank you to the parents that came out last night to the Introduction meeting.  It was great to go over the year’s curriculum and plans with you.  If you couldn’t make it and have any questions for me, you can always drop by and see me or write me an email.

            Please remember to send in the borrowed library books by Tuesday so that your son or daughter will be able to exchange them.  If you want to send them back by Friday or Monday that is okay.  I strongly encourage you to re-read the library books throughout the week.  Kids at this age love hearing stories again and it is an excellent opportunity for them to help you read or to  have a talk about the book after it is read.
