We have started our Handwriting Without Tears curriculum -- a good way to practice writing with your child is to write their name in a highlighter marker and then have your child trace it in their favorite color .

As the weather cools down we will be taking walks to Boswell Park and Washburn more ofter --please make sure your child has good walking shoes and watch for special notes on bringing a picnic lunch.

Things that are always appreciated -- clorox wipes and hand soap -- we go through quite a bit of these things .

Please let me know if you would like a weekly report on your child's color chart.
