Upcoming Calendar Items:  Next week is Spring Break so we will not have preschool.  I will be in Arizona doing some early childhood and music education classes for the week so I’m hoping to come back renewed with lots of great ideas and energy to make my classroom even more inspiring for your children!
Tuition will be due April 9th.  

Home Challenge:  This yea there is a movement that is encouraging parents to give non-candy gifts for Easter.  You may want to consider giving your child something that will help them academically like a new puzzle, coloring book, reading book, flashcards a family board game that involves numbers or words.
