Happy Easter Weekend!
Hello families, I hope that all are enjoying the extra long weekend.
I would like to extend a huge Thank you to Lujain's mom for her generous gift of a happy meal for each student along with Amira and Ayat's families for giving candy that was shared to all student and Kitami's family for letting us borrow the movie DVD of "My Neighbor Totoro".
Wednesday was a fun day as students wore pj's, brought in pillows, stuffed animals and blankets. We had a morning of sharing and finding plastic eggs filled with math review questions and an afternoon of watching a movie together.
The students are still able to visit the Curioso website that allows them to pick books to read for free. The student code is qiw596.
