Good morning!!

It's been awhile since our last blog update so here's the latest and greatest from Mr. B's 5th grade class:

• Put a Lid On It! - Mrs. Lanutti is collecting round lids of all different sizes for an idea she has in mind for her art students. Send your round lids to school with your kiddos, and they'll make sure they get to Mrs. Lanutti.
  
• AR Silver Dollar City Incentive - Students who earn 400% (100% each quarter) of their AR goal will be invited to a trip to Silver Dollar City on May 14th. I am linking a form to this post that will allow you to get some general information for the trip and will allow you to sign up. There is still time to earn this trip. We are just collecting general information. More specific information about the trip will be sent out at a later time.

  Also, did you know that services provided within the Early Learning Center include Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE). Parent referrals can be accepted for children beginning at age 3 if you suspect you child may have a developmental delay in the following areas: cognitive (general intelligence), communication (speech or language), motor, or social/emotional. 
  
  
  Our ECSE program provides FREE services for those children that qualify. If you have concerns about your child's development and would like more information regarding a screening, please contact the Early Learning Center at 724-4050.
