End of the Year ABC Countdown Reminder
 
As a fun way of celebrating the last weeks of school, we are doing an "End of the Year ABC Countdown." Each school day has a different activity depending on the letter of the day. Your child may need to bring certain things on various days. This year we are dedicating our ABC Countdown to Mr. Vandercar!  This sheet ( click here) will help your child remember what day in the "countdown" we are on.  We hope your child enjoys his/her last days!
