April Allergies!

Dear 2B Families,

Happy Weekend! Are your allergies going crazy too?! We had a few kiddos stay indoors today due to the wind and pollen in the air. I'm loving the nice weather but not the allergies that come along with it :-).

Here are a few fun scholar shout-outs to share!

Camy was our virtue award winner for March ~ Perseverance! Great work Camy!

Our scholars just love reciting poetry on their chair! Landon and Aidan did a great job with this!

These girls stayed after the bell to tidy up the classroom! They even left sharp pencils on each desk for Monday! Thank you Lily, Olivia, and Sydney!

Sweet scholars playing...

Next Week in 2B...

Science: We will learn about a special woman, a nurse, named Florence Nightingale. She was also known as The Lady with the Lamp. Florence always believed that her life had a special purpose and that she was meant to help others. Be sure to ask your child how she accomplished this!

Love,

Mrs. Dombrowski

P.S. Personal note to share 😀...My sweet friend of 15 years asked Mr. D and I to be Godparents for her baby girl. Here's a picture of us last Saturday at her Baptism! It was a beautiful day!
