                 March is Reading Month!
                 During the month of March we will be sharing weekly
                 reading activities via Tadpoles each Sunday. Most of
                 these will be done in the classroom throughout the
                 week with friends and teachers, but the boxes
                 highlighted in red on the flyers suggest participation
                 from home.

                 There is great fun to be had in March with Dr. Seuss's
                 birthday, St. Patrick's Day, Leprechaun traps for our older
                 friends, March Madness and much more! Look for more
