March Reflection
Happy Spring!
And happy conferences! I
love this time of year when I am honored to share how wonderful your children
are doing in school, what he/she have been up cognitively, socially,
emotionally and physically. And
conference time is also time to offer parents time to ask questions and get
some support or resource suggestions when requested. Please feel free to email questions before hand. Due to the back-to-back conferences,
thank you greatly for being on time!
We began digging more in the soil during our outside
play! Thank you for dressing your
children in clothes you are fine with coming home dirty. The children are having so much fun!
