Decker's Dinos Learning Academy

Dear Dino Parents,

In an attempt to reach my students (your children) with greater effect, I am starting an afterschool learning program in our classroom. Basically, twice a week I would like to keep as many students as possible for an hour to practice our reading, writing and math skills. Since the students will have been in school all day already, our afterschool activities will be as fun and exciting as possible. I want to ensure that all of my little dinosaurs succeed in 2nd grade. I am willing to do everything within my power to aid them in their growth and development. In order for your child to participate you must be able to pick them up after the program finishes each day. We will begin our program on November 1st, 2010.

Details:

Mondays – 2:45 – 3:45 p.m.
Wednesdays – 2:45 – 3:45 p.m.
