Week of March 26, 2018



        This week we will begin the week out by learning about the Easter Story.  The children will participate in  several activities about this story.  They will have a celebration on Thursday.  I am asking each parent to allow your child to bring 18 plastic eggs fills with goodies     . ( Remember do not put anything in the egg that has nuts.)  Mrs. Anderson will contact you this weekend about what else your child will need to bring on Thursday for our class celebration.
        On last Wednesday, The Castle Quest- kicked off  Ezell-Harding's annual Spring Sprint.  Please read the information carefully that was sent home and register your child as soon as possible.  More information will be sent home  this week about Castle Quest.  Feel free to come by our classroom and see our castle.  If you are having difficulty with registering please contact me for assistance.
