Happy Saturday Everyone!
Yay October and Autumn! I just love it.
Thank you all for your support towards Marleen with this new opportunity that has come her way. I am excited for her. I will admit, it took awhile for me to get there and I am still sad to lose her in our classroom, but I support her 100 percent in her move to a lead teacher position. This is a position she truly deserves. With that, I am excited to tell you about our new assistant. Her name is SaraJo Moore. She is originally from Tennessee and has experience working with early childhood. She came in Wednesday and spent the day with us. Marleen and I both feel that she will be a great asset to our classroom. It will be an adjustment and learning experience for us all, but overall, I think it will be great.
We are starting to work on our book reports here at school. If your child has not brought their book in, can you please send it with them this week. If you need to keep the book at home, will you please email me the title of the book so we can get going on the report?
Don’t forget to sign up for parent teacher conferences. They are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, October 17, 18, and 19. The sign up link is on the right of the blog. These are also early out days, so plan on picking your child up at 1 p.m. The book fair will also be in the library during conferences.
We need snack for the week of October 24. If you are able to provide snack for those days, please sign up using the wejoinin link on the right of the blog.
We have our two field trips coming up the week after conferences. Please let me know if you can provide transportation for your child or if you need transportation for them. If you can transport other children, please use the wejoinin link to the right. The field trip to Ogden Nature Center that is Monday the 24 is from 9-11. Siblings are not allowed at this field trip. However, for the field trip to Black Island Farms on Wednesday the 26, siblings are welcome to come, you will just have to pay $4 for them. This field trip will be from 9 to about 1. I will have permission slips for the kids this coming week.
Again, I am excited for Ms. SaraJo to join our class. I will have her type up a small bio and put it on the blog so you can learn more about her. She will also be to some of the conferences but not all.
Thank you for all your support and love, especially through this change.
Take care.
