Week of February 17th

Posted in Classroom | No Comments »

Hello Everyone!

Thank you to the parents who came on our field trip to the Planetarium this past Wednesday.  Also, thank you to all of you who got our kiddos to the train station on time.  It all went very smoothly.

The kids loved going!  We are thinking of including the Children’s Museum as another field trip next year.  As for the rest of the year, nothing is planned, but we are looking into setting up something at The Nature Center.  I will let you know when and if we have any further field trips.

New Assistant

LaVonna’s last day was this past Thursday.  I have found a new assistant for our classroom!  My husband’s cousin has shown great interest.  She came in this week and shadowed all day.  The kids liked her and said they would like to have Ms. Emilee.  So, Ms. Emilee has been hired!  She will be signing on this week, but will start next week.  I am making myself available this week to check off the student’s work charts.  The only group lessons I will be doing will be reading groups.

SAGE

3rd graders took their writing test this past Tuesday.  As of now, their Language and Math test are scheduled to be in April.

Have a great upcoming week!

Cheers!

Hello!

Sorry for the late post, I was spending some time with my family.

Thank you for coming to conferences!  It is always a pleasure to meet with all you!  If you didn’t get a chance to have your conference, please email me and we can try and set up a time.  This week might get busy, but the last week of February might work out.

LaVonna is Leaving 🙁

No easy way to explain, but Ms. LaVonna has chosen to resign for family reasons.  We are in the midst of filling the position.

The kids will find out Tuesday.  Her last day is this coming Thursday.

Field Trip

Please be on time to the train station tomorrow.  Make sure your child wears layers.  It will be chillier in the morning.  A backpack, water bottle, comfy shoes, and picnic lunch will be necessary.  There is a gift shop there should you choose to give your child money.

Cheers!

Ms. K
