May 5th
A note from Ms. Cruz - ​
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Crazily, we only have 3 weeks left of school. Please remind kiddos that the year is not over yet, and that we still have a lot to do in order to be ready for 3rd grade! :) We will have our student led conferences on the 16th at 1:30, and it would be amazing for everyone to be able to make it. It will be a fun time for kids to share the poetry that they have been working so hard on, as well as some of the other work that they have done and wanted to save in order to share with you. ​
​
Always feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. Let's make the rest of this year SPECTACULAR!!
