• FYI: We will be doing a different art every day this week and painting most of those days. Make sure your child wears clothes that it is okay to get paint on. Some of the paint will be washable, but not all of it. So, don’t let them wear anything that you don’t want paint to get on.

• Be on the lookout for notes and/or emails from your child’s teacher about Around the World Day. We WILL NEED parents to donate items for this to be successful!

• Many of the children need scissors, crayons, markers, etc. Please ask your child if they need these things for the classroom.
