Mrs. Bobrink's Kindergarten Class

We had so much fun dressing up and celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday. Thank you for all of your help, time, donations, and to all of our guest readers! Make sure to check out our pictures on the ParentSquare post.  The school has been working hard to get our class enough iPads for each student to have their own to use in class!! As of this week, we have enough!!! That being said, you may send a pair of headphones for your child to use on their very own  iPad at school each day if you would like to.

THANK YOU! :) Parent Conferences for this trimester will be on a NEED ONLY basis and will be taking place the last week of school before Spring Break. Report cards will be going home digitally this trimester on Friday, March 15.  Over the next two weeks, your homework job as a family is to build a t
