Ask Your Child!

 Hello Parents!

I know that it must be hard to keep up with all the great things that your child is learning about in school!  Don't worry!  Your cutie will be able to keep you updated!  So many things that we didn't learn in school!   I will add to our list of questions often but please don't hesitate to ask your child for any help that you may need!  They will be helping me come up with questions for you! :)  Good Luck in first grade!

Love, Mrs. Debi Marinelli :)
