"We have been SO thankful for Mrs. Emerson's efforts to update parents on what's going on in the classroom and what the kids are learning. Having this info calibrates us so we can ask our kids the right kinds of questions to reinforce what they're learning in school. Seeing the topics/concepts they're working on listed out also lets us easily see their progression. So we REALLY appreciate the newsletter, as well as her frequent emails to help our child better prepare for school."
