Leprechaun Trap

It's that time of year again... The leprechauns are on the loose and ready to be caught. A flyer will be coming home Wednesday about the trap and all the need to know directions. Be on the look out...


Week of February 29

Happy Leap Day!! I have to admit, the science nerd part of me loves to try and explain, and understand, this day. The whole idea that throughout 4 years, we accumulate another day?? What? Crazy! 

The kids are bringing home a fun book to read about Leap Day today for their nightly reading. Tomorrow we will be back on track with our March homework packet. Thank you for your patience while we waited out February.

Each month a fitness calendar is issued for us to use to promote movement and healthy living. I am incorporating that today so that you can see it and use it as you wish.
