Mrs. Horn's Kindergarten Class: March 2014

Newsletter 3/17/14

A note from Mrs. Horn…

It was wonderful to have a chance to talk with you about your children’s progress. The best part of Kindergarten is watching how quickly your children learn, and how excited they are to learn. Again, thank you for sharing your children with me.

On Wednesday, March 26^th, we will have our All About Me Writer’s Celebration. We are very excited to share with you our fabulous non-fiction books that we have been working so hard on for the past few weeks. Please join us in the library at 11:15 to enjoy your child’s and others books. After our celebration, you are welcome to stay and eat lunch with your children in the cafeteria.

We are running SUPER LOW on hand sanitizer and paper towels. If you can please send in a roll or a bottle, that would be fabulous!
