I’d like to start out by saying thank you to those of you who helped out with the baby sprinkle on Thursday. The kids had a great time, and most importantly, Jalee loved seeing all of them and sharing some things about Sawyer. Also, thank you so much for your generosity. Jalee enjoyed opening all the gifts, and appreciates the gift card.
This past week was Ms. Lacey’s first week with us. I believe she has adjusted well, and the kids have opened up to her. She is doing a fantastic job of keeping the kids on track with their work, and helping them with anything they need. The kids seem to enjoy having her with us, and of course, she is of great help to me.
As a quick reminder, the “I wonder…” home projects are due this week. Don’t worry, if your child hasn’t finished working on it there is still plenty of time to bring it in and present it. My goal is to have three or four kids share every day this week, and then continue next week with the rest of them.
Next Friday, March 18, is our annual fundraiser gala. Tickets are $25, or $30 at the door. It is a great opportunity to get out and meet other parents and teachers, and support our school. There will be music, dinner, silent auctions, and lots of fun. There is no dress code, however, most people usually opt for cocktail or semi formal dress. I will be there, so come and join me!
On a side note, I am continuing to be amazed by your kids’ patience with me, with Ms. Lacey and the adjustment period. I can proudly tell you that we keep receiving compliments from other teachers and the administration on how well behaved they are, especially while moving through the hallways. Personally, I am happy and excited that they work hard in the class room and that they love coming to school. It truly is a pleasure to be around them for most of my day. We couldn’t have asked for a better class!
Thanks for everything you do and all your support. As always, please feel free to contact me with any concerns or questions.
