Here's our Zetabet of Zactivities for the remaining 26 days of school (in reverse order). Enjoy participating!
Dear Parents,
I can’t believe that the school year is moving along so quickly! It's almost May!!! I hope this continues to be a fantastic year for you and your child. As a fun way to celebrate the last weeks of school, our class will be doing an ABC countdown. Your child is encouraged, but not obligated, to participate in each day’s actvities. Please do not buy anything special to go with these days, most items you already have at home. We will begin with the letter Z and work backwards toward the letter A (just like the story of the Zetabet). Happy ABC’s....I mean....ZYX's!!!!

MIM - Pictures Coming Soon
Our Loon Egg Hunt had to be relocated in the Media Center due to the sky dandruff. However, it was still a major success!!! Ask your child about what we did and what they learned about the great state of Minnesota.
Enjoy the vacation time with your child!
See you on Tuesday,
