Wow, I cannot believe the first week is already over. It was definitely a fast paced, crazy, awesome week.
As many of you know we got a new assistant this year. Her name is Ms. Marleen. She has a great background in Montessori and is adding a lot of great things to our classroom. She is from Germany and will be teaching us some words in German. I am very excited to have her in our classroom. This week we did a lot of team building and grace and courtesy lessons and activities. We will continue to do these throughout the year. Today we read a book called Ordinary Mary’s Extraordinary Deed. It is a book about how one little girl’s good action led to others paying it forward. We will continue to do more things with this book the next couple of weeks. We also read The Crayon Box that Talked and discussed how we are like a crayon box in our classroom and need to work together. If we did not have everyone of us our classroom would not be complete.
Quick reminder to familiarize yourself with the dress code. The link is at the top of the page or on the school’s website. Next week I will be sending home dress code infractions and we will have to call you to bring a change of clothes if necessary. Thank you for your cooperation with this.
The run for the Redwoods 5K is September 13. This is a fundraiser for the 6th grade field trip. There is a link at the top of the page if you would like to register to participate. Please join us. You don’t have to run. You can walk or skip or jump or just come and help. Here is the link as well. Run for the Redwoods- registration form (2)
Have a great weekend.
