Fabulous February

February has been a great month. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to meet with families during conference week. All of our students are progressing each day! Thank you to all of the parents that have volunteered this month, helping out with our UCCPA Circus and Valentine's Day Party. The students really enjoyed these special activities.

During our class time we are continuing to work on letter recognition and math concepts. We are getting closer to the end of the alphabet, but will continue to review the entire alphabet. Are you looking for new homework time ideas to help your student? There are extra concept packets available as well as hands on activity idea packets. Remeber to make homework time FUN!!!

We are looking forward to the month of March and all of the fun activities it will bring!
