Week of November 20-24 and November 27-December 1

We had a great week of teaching and learning! I enjoyed seeing some of you at CiCi's Family Night. Hopefully, you will be able to join us for the next one.

There is NO SCHOOL, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! Classes will resume Monday, November 27 at 7:30am. We will pick up with a new story that week as well. (The skills are listed below.) Also, Friday, December 1 is a half day with dismissal at 11:30am. Please notify us in writing if your child's transportation changes for that day.

Due to construction and renovation occurring on the children's floor at the Richland County Public Library's Main Branch located on Assembly Street, we have to reschedule our upcoming field study. The original date was scheduled for December 14th. We will postpone the field study until after Winter Break to ensure that all construction and renovation is complete. We will notify you as soon as the new date is confirmed. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

We use our computers daily and we do not want to be distracted by sounds that may interfere with learning. Please ensure your child has headphones to use in class. (Let me know if you have any questions.)
