January 
We love January. We are all settled in our routines and the students are learning and growing. There is also the promise of a snow day. With the weather turning colder, please dress your children in layers so they may adjust them as they need. Our rooms fluctuate from cool to warm at times. Thank you for all your help and support during the past busy season; it is evident in the progress the students make.
Please keep in mind, should we have a snow day, the next day will be the missed special.
In the month of January we will be working on the following objectives as well as the objectives we have introduced earlier in the year.
