So far, everyone seems to be happy, healthy, and glad to be back in school. Our first three days were over before we knew it. Children are working on sense of community and learning about their classroom. Peace doves went home on Friday and were also hung around the courtyard.
Thank you to everyone for returning your district documents and discussing the student handbook with your child. Canvas bags were worked on and the theme is Peace. Children understand that they are using these decorative totes as they are reuseable and recycleable. Our environment is a special resource and we are working on maintaining it. I, too, will try to use as little paper as possible throughout the year!
Susan Zbick, Meghan's mom, is our e mail parent. She has the class list and information. Cristina Chacon, Isiss' mom, is our room parent. The class schedule, specials schedule and additional information were given out at Back to School Night. Please feel free to contact me if there is anything else you need.
Homework will be sent home on Monday and will be returned the following Monday. Parents are responsible for ensuring that the work is done and returned on time.
Parent volunteers are needed to read with the children. Please let me know when you are available. This will count towards your ten hours of service. Parent volunteers are also needed to help with restoration of our environment, materials making, and other activities. Our room parent should be contacted if you can assist our class. Thank you.
Children will be making personal timelines. Please send pictures from one year to present age. Your child will write one sentence at home with you about each picture. Pictures need to be sent to school, but please don't send your only copy. I cannot ensure you that they will come home in the same condition they arrived in! If your child is seven, for example, they will have seven sentences to write.
Mrs. Gina and I are looking forward to an enriching and rewarding year!
Thank you for being a part of our "team"!
