Our students will have the opportunity to practice responsibility and teamwork during our annual (and rescheduled) Scooterville event this March. We also look forward to continuing the educational and engaging Washington tradition of Discovery Day later this spring. Read Across America kicks off in early March, and we have both beloved traditions, including our spring Book Fair and author visit,  and new experiences planned for our students. At home, please continue to encourage your child to read daily and practice math fluency skills. These small, consistent efforts make a big difference.<\/p>\n<p>In school, we remain focused on strengthening executive functioning skills. Across classrooms and schoolwide, we are helping students build organization, manners, time management, patience and self-regulation skills.<\/p>\n<p>Our Word of the Week program continues to support vocabulary development, language growth, and character education. In addition, our State of the Week initiative brings geography to life by introducing students to new facts and information about states across the country. I encourage you to ask your child about the state we are learning about.  They love sharing their knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Spring is always a season of growth, and we look forward to seeing our students continue to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Upcoming Events for March and April<br \/>\nMarch 2-6 Read Across America and Spirit Week<br \/>\nMarch 4-5  Book Fair<br \/>\nMarch 6- Trimester 2 ends<br \/>\nMarch 6- Author Visit<br \/>\nMarch 16-26- APEX Kick off<br \/>\nMarch 17- ColorDay\/Green-Responsibility<br \/>\nMarch 18-19- Scooterville<br \/>\nMarch 18- REF Wizards Game<br \/>\nMarch 19- Report Cards Issued via Parent Portal<br \/>\nMarch 26- Jersey Day (MLB Opening Day)<br \/>\nMarch 27- Apex Fun Run<br \/>\nMarch 31- All School Sing\/Bulldog Spirit Day<br \/>\nApril 3- Schools Closed<br \/>\nApril 8- Color Day- Blue\/Trustworthiness<br \/>\nApril 20-24 Spring Recess\/No School<br \/>\nApril 27-28- Yoga in PE Class<br \/>\nApril 29- All School Sing\/Bulldog Spirit Day<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your continued partnership in making Washington School a wonderful place to learn and grow. <\/p>\n<p>Warm regards,<\/p>\n<p>Jessica Saxon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am so excited to say, \u201cWelcome, Spring!\u201d We have many exciting activities ahead in the months to come.
