Peek at the Week of February 24-28

Welcome back from Winter Break!  I hope everyone had a great break from school and is ready to be back in business.

Salute to Seuss
* Please send in Dr. Seuss books with your child.  We will use these books in reading workshop.
* This Friday we will have a special breakfast in honor of Dr. Seuss' upcoming birthday.  We will have green eggs and ham.  It's always fun to see who 'dares' to eat the green eggs.
