Welcome back after Spring break!

I hope your Easter weekend was full of family, friends and good food! Maybe some curling and golf too!

Spelling words this week:

too - food - boot - room - broom  -moon - soon - pool - school - two

Sight words:

This Wednesday we will be doing an Easter Batik Art project. The finished product is beautiful. Although this project is not hard it does require parent help as we use hot wax and fabric dyes. If you are available this Wednesday from 10:15 - 11:30 please let me know as I would love a few parent volunteers in the Art room.

Don't forget it is Library day every Thursday. We have had  ALOT of overdue books this year.

Don't forget that the Friends of Mike Mountain Horse Society is putting on a Hawaiian Auction Adult Night! Date: Friday April 27th 2012
Time:  7-11:30
