Week of 4/25 - 4/26

April 25, 2024

Dear Parents,

We had a fabulous day today on our field trip to Leonis Adobe!  The students were able to learn many different facts about the Chumash culture. They also showed strong listening skills and represented Welby Way well through their respectful behavior. Well done Room 38!

I hope you and your family are able to attend Welby's Open House, this Thursday, May 2nd, from 5:30 - 6:30 PM.  

This is a wonderful chance to see your child's hard work and allow him/her to take you on a "tour" around our room.  

As a reminder, the cereal box book reports and presentations are due this Wednesday, May 1st.   

Sincerely,

Mrs. McLoud
