Week of 3/21

Ahoy!

Wow... I can't believe that it is almost the end of March! Where did this month go? We have been working really hard in here since Christmas break! I have noticed that some of my kiddos are feeling under the weather :( Please make sure they are getting plenty of sleep, drinking water, and eating healthy food! We are all worn down right now and ready for spring break! We just have a few more days!
