I am looking for a parent volunteer, or more, to help organize a service learning project for our class.  Some of you may already be involved in an organization or know of needs that would fit well with our classroom.  This could be a really simple project or more complex.  We could attend a field trip relating to the service. This is something I feel strongly about doing, but I know my limits and know this is an area I could use some support.  Please contact me, if you have a great idea, or would like to take part in organizing a project.

While we are on the subject of service, I want to thank Tannis, one of our parent volunteers, for donating much of her personal time to leveling our classroom library.  Thank You!  It looks amazing and I can’t wait to start having the children choose better fit books. This is such a great service.

I am really excited to be working with our new reading specialist, Ms. Lynette.  She will be training some of our parent reading volunteers in a structured reading program called Star reading.  If you are interested in being involved in this, please let me know.  The great thing about her training you, is that you can transfer this knowledge into your own home.  I have a handful of students who would really benefit from this opportunity.  Ms. Lynette is available to train parents next Tuesday or Thursday from 9:30-10.  Please know, if this is not a good fit for your time, I will not turn help away.  I will use reading volunteers in all capacities.

If you have an idea of how you would like to contribute your volunteer hours to our school or classroom.  Please let me know.
