Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don’t give only your care, but give your heart as well –Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

We celebrated Aiden as our star student this week.

 We started on a health project that required us to trace our bodies.

In math we have been using base tens to add and subtract numbers up to 100 with and without regrouping.  This is a difficult concept for some students.  Please support your child when they come home with math they have completed at school.

I hope everyone enjoys a safe and sunny long weekend!
