We are close to memorizing Isaiah 55 1-6 - thanks to Pam's wonderful CD! 

Please work on this at home as well.  

We are skipping verses 7,8 and 9 - and finish with 10-11 next week before spring break.

I look forward to meeting with you this week!  I have many wonderful things to share.  It has been encouraging to do March assessments!  The children have come so far, especially since January.

Thank you, Martha, for being our Mom of the Month for March.  The library books that you brought were wonderful.  The kids pull them each morning.  Thanks also for your time in sharing phonics information, planting our pots and 100 Day Celebration.

Your children brighten my days.  Looking forward to a wonderful spring with them.
