DAISY DAILY FOR WEEK OF APRIL 4, 2016

Second-graders present their research on important people, using Power Point formats.

April 3,  2016

Daisy Staff,

It's hard to believe that many of us woke up to a covering of white this morning.  Daffodils and forsythia are popping through everywhere between patches of snow and it seems like winter is just not ready to leave us yet.

As the cold, windy weather holds on, here's a look at the week/s ahead.  This week features our usual grade-level meetings; a Daisy Leadership Meeting; a Staff Meeting; our Third-Grade Spring Concert; and the opportunity for lots more classroom observations (which I am thoroughly enjoying!)

As always, please let me know about anything that you'd like me to add to our calendar.

Thanks,
Ruth
