Our First Day In C4...

Hi Parents!

We had a great first day today! I cannot believe how incredibly lucky I am to have all of your kiddos this year. Thank you all so much for filling out and sending back the many forms for me. I loved reading about your children. Many of you mentioned that your child dances or plays a sport. Please feel free to let me know the dates/times for games and performances. I love coming out to support them!

I had a few people ask me about an Amazon wishlist during sneak-a-peek, I will link it below:

A couple of reminders for you:

• Tomorrow is SPIRIT day! Wear your KSE gear or colors (blue or gold/yellow).
• We will meet in the gym every morning.
• Please send a healthy snack with your kiddo each day.

This year is going to be wonderful! Thank you for all you do!

LAST Week In M3..

I cannot believe that this year is coming to an end! I adore each and every one of your children and cannot wait to see the amazing year I know they'll have in 3rd grade.

Monday is a full day of school.
Tuesday and Wednesday are half days!
Please remember to send a transportation note if your kiddo will go home differently. Feel free to send one note for all three days on Monday if it will be different all week.

Please still send your child with their backpack and folder on Monday. I will be sending home a sealed envelope that says "Do not open until May 2022". I had each child write a letter to their future selves and this weekend I am going to add in a note from me. I will also send home any other odds and ends that I have forgotten about.

On Tuesday the kids do not have to bring anything to school.

On Wednesday the kids are not allowed to bring anything to school. I'm sorry for any inconvenience but this is a county rule. If your child brings a lunch or water bottle it will need to be completely disposable (paper bags, ziplocks, etc.).

We'll play some fun review games next week and just enjoy our last three days together!
