This morning was so fun for me! A couple of my students came in and gave me the coolest gifts! The teacher appreciation week lunches started off wonderfully well. The nacho bar was absolutely delicious!!!! Thank you to all of you who made the first day of teacher appreciation week so special!
OH! IF YOU WERE A FLY ON THE WALL: Today was a rare day where we got out math lesson done early. Instead of filling up the last 12 minutes of the math block with more academics the class got to spend time playing with the math manipulatives. It is during those free-time moments, where, if you could be a fly on the wall, you would find out all kinds of interesting "facts" and all kinds of interesting things about your child. Today I found out that half of my students were born in China, one child has a pet unicorn, 100+100 = ten million, at least 9 of my students went to Disney Land yesterday, Santa is real because several of my kids saw him (Yes. Kindergarteners talk about Santa year round), one boy caught a fish as tall as he was... EXTRA FIELD TRIP INFORMATION: - On Thursday, please send your child to school with a DISPOSABLE lunch in a DISPOSABLE bag. Also, please send a DISPOSABLE water bottle with your child's name clearly written on the water bottle. The chaperones will be carrying the lunches and water bottles around so it is important that they are light weight and disposable. - Full day students will be dismissed at the end of the school day as usual. - Parents of half-day students have two options: a) Half-day students may be picked up at 2:00 upon our return to school OR b) Half-day students may stay at school for the remainder of the day and be picked up during normal dismissal time *Note to chaperones - upon return to school you are welcome to go to the front office and check out your child for the remainder of the day. LITERATURE BOOKS: - Last week all of the the Little Bear books were sent home in your child's backpack. Your scholar may keep them at home.
