Wow, what a beautiful weekend. I hope you got outside to explore and enjoy the beautiful weather. We are settling well into our daily routine and learning to follow the school and I-CARE KID rules. We also have been practicing fire drills and lock down,playground safety and school bus safety\evacuation. There is a lot for the little ones to take in and remember, but we are consistently reviewing procedures and reassuring the children that we are only practicing in case of an ememrgency. It would be wonderful if you could also review safety rules at home with child. Thanks!
