4/12/2013Happy Spring!
The children have been very excited to be back in school after a wonderful break. We enjoyed a planting session with the Master Gardeners on Tuesday. We are anxiously watching our Peter Rabbit Gardens for signs of sprouting! The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation office (Orange office - Spencer Yager) has donated two rain barrels to help keep our garden watered. We watched Mr. Wright, Mrs. Wright and Patrick Herndon set up the rain barrels on Thursday afternoon, just in time for the big rain. Next week, we will have another planting project!
A few things to remember:
-Please check and sign homework folder each night.
-April Sight Words - we will check each week. The final check will be on April 30th.
