Dear Families,
Thank you so much for all the lovely birthday gifts! I had such a happy birthday at school...and felt so fortunate to get to spend it with our class. Thank you also to all the parents/families for your generous donations which made our St. Patrick's Day so magical for the students. The leprechauns were naughty this year, knocking over tables, tying up chairs, littering the classroom with gold, pencils, necklaces, bracelets, and more! ;)
We are looking forward to a great week! Brooke is our star student this week! Her poster is beautiful and we loved learning more about her!

- Yoga: Thank you all for your support in our integration of yoga into the classroom. The kids have been doing an amazing job learning the poses and seem to enjoy it too. If you're interested check out the program we are using-CosmicKids. Why yoga? Research has shown that school yoga has many benefits. In addition to the wonderful benefits that yoga has on the physical well-being of children, school yoga has been shown to increase self-regulation and focus, as well as reduce problem behavior, test anxiety, and anger.
