Sneak a Peek at Next Week (April 16-20)

What an amazing time we had on our field trip to the zoo!!  The weather was absolutely gorgeous, the students did a phenomenal job and represented Lake Carolina in a beautiful way, and most of the animals were out and about.  I want to thank all of my parent volunteers for joining us and making this an extra special day for all of us!  Lastly, my class took the SRI test this week which gave them a Lexile level for library books.  There will be a note in your child's binder that shows his/her new level, and I will also attach a copy, too.  Please let me know if you have any questions at all.  I hope everyone has a great weekend, and don't forget to read, read, read!!
