Week of May 24th- May 28th

Thank you for allowing me to teach your wonderful kids this year! I am very proud of their progress! RtI groups have finished for this year. I am working on wrapping up the year and preparing for next year. I will be on maternity leave at the beginning of the year and expect to return mid-November. Hope everyone has a great summer! Please continue to read and encourage your children to read anything and everything as often as possible! :)
