April 2017

April is right around the corner!  Hopefully April will bring warmer weather and lots of sunshine!  I think we are all ready for spring.  I am amazed at how fast the months are flying by.  It is hard to believe in a few short months these kiddos will be heading out my door and onto Kindergarten!  :)  This time of year gets very busy for us in and out of the classroom.  Be sure to check the Classroom Newsletter to find dates, times and information about upcoming events and field trips.  Below you can find info for the month of April!
