Hugo Falcon is our SPECIAL FRIEND OF THE WEEK!! Anthony's name was drawn
to be our special friend of the week. Each week a name will be drawn and
that friend will have the opportunity to create a poster telling us all
about themselves (look for the pink notice in your child's red folder on
Fridays to know whether it is your child or not). We can't wait for Hugo
to bring his poster in on Monday to share with us. We will then post it on
the door for the week so everyone at school can get to know our friend
Hugo!!
We had a fantastic time during Fun Friday this week!! Colin Hanley's
mom, Stacy, stopped by to make our very own peace sign necklaces. We had
such a great time creating our jewelry. What a wonderful idea and way to
tie into our theme of time!! Thank you so much to
Mrs. Hanley for taking time out of her busy schedule to join us. We had a
BLAST!! We are looking forward to our next Fun Friday Parent, Karen Carter,
Dana's mom who will visit us this Friday!.
