March comes in like a lion out like a lamb??

Math ~ Practicing numbers to 100



 Visit from Mrs. Dumphey the dental hygienist
 We talked about good habits for taking care of our teeth. 
Brush at least 2x a day
Floss at least 1x a day
Eat healthy foods for our body and teeth
 Each child went home with a new toothbrush. 
We should change our tooth brushes every 3 months.
 Mystery Reader ~ Thank you Julie Lee for coming in to read to the children.  
Caelan was very excited to see his mom and everyone enjoyed the story she brought in!  

 Caelan was full of energy, smiles and laughter with his mom!  
So much love!!  
 They say "March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb!"
Too bad today wasn't the last day of March because according to the 
forecast it sounds like March will be going out like a lion this year!  
 We enjoyed a little extra recess before the bad weather arrives.






Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
