A note from the teacher

I just want to thank you all for such a great start to the new school year, I am really excited about the group we have and look forward to building on a great beginning. If we haven’t received your child’s pictures we still need them. You probably wont get these pictures back so please send copies. We need one for their Bucket, one of your family, and one of your child doing something that they enjoy (like them on the beach or swimming). We would also really like pictures of your homes for our block area.
The bikes are out and ready to go. So if your child wants to ride them, they will need to bring a helmet to wear. You can just hang them up on the coat hooks outside our classroom. Please make sure that they have your child’s name written in them. Its really a good idea to label everything that comes to school with your child. It’s also a great idea to send extra clothes in case of accidents, you know what I mean J but also there are juice spills too. Also please send your child in play clothes or clothes that its ok to get messy in. We have a lot of fun projects that some times end up all over us, me included. We do wear paint shirt but sometimes that is just not enough to contain our fun!
To stop the spread of germs in our class, we ask that you please take your child to the bathroom and wash their hands before they come into class. We want to keep the sick count down as much as possible. If your child is sick please call the office and let them know what’s going on, we worry about you when your gone.

Speaking of being absent, I will be out of town on Thursday 9-25, Friday 9-26 and Monday 9-29. My son will be graduating from Navy boot camp on that Friday, so my family will be traveling to Chicago to see him. In the morning classes Teacher Sarah will be there to help Teacher Veronica and in the afternoon Teacher Marissa will be helping out. The children will have fun painting a Friendship painting together that week.
