MAY Memos from Mrs. Sharp and Ms. Groves
NOTES TO PARENTS:
Thank you all for your support and involvement in our classroom! It is
hard to believe that we are nearly through with this school year! It has
been a pleasure to partner with you in the education of your precious
little ones! We have had so much fun learning and growing together!
May is quite a busy month and we have lots of end-of-year activities
planned! Be on the lookout for updates of events in the classroom and
school-wide! Please make every effort to arrive to school on time.
Tardiness can be quite disruptive when we have already started our day.
Also, remember to dress your student for outdoor play. Socks and tennis
shoes are advisable!
Thank you for all you do for both your student and our classroom! Even
the small actions of checking folders, sending in forms or supplies, or
communicating regularly have a big impact on our day! We count it an
honor to partner with you for our students!
Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any questions,
concerns, or comments. You may reach us by email at
kimberlysharp@anderson5.net or shawanagroves@anderson5.net. We
welcome your input and feedback!
