News to Note...

I want to sincerely thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to school for Parent Teacher Conferences last week. I always enjoy sitting down together to share your sweetie's progress, success and strategies for improvement. It's a great time to connect.Your support is so very appreciated! 

The students are very excited about our class debates with Ms. Connor's class tomorrow and Wednesday. We did some practicing today and I think we may even have a few future lawyers on our hands as they loved to yell out, "I object!" I had to kindly remind them that this is not a court case. :) (Perhaps my everyday life application was taken a bit too far.) In any case, this is a fun game if your darling wants to get some more practice. After spring break, we will be moving into writing folktales, so you can prepare for that by reading these online. 

We will be having our Souk Day on Thursday, April 10th! The children always look forward to this as they are able to purchase things with their business passes, which they have been saving. 

If you are able to make any home-baked treats, that would be especially appreciated as everyone loves such special treats! 

Also, we will be having a small, spring party on Wednesday. It will be very simple, mid-morning (10:30) and a time to celebrate our upcoming break. Stephanie Nooren has graciously agreed to send in something tasty and we'll play a couple of fun, short games. I would like to limit it to students, so I hope you understand. 

Lastly, I'd like to wish you each a very restful, happy and refreshing spring break. I hope it's a truly blessed time with your family and friends! I'll be meeting my sister in beautiful Italy (Cinque Terre and Venice), so we are both just counting down the days!! 

I hope you will enjoy every moment, just as we will. :) See you on April 21st!
