Parents,
Wow! It was so great to visit with all of you! No wonder these kids are all so great…they’ve got great parents!!!!! Thank you again for taking the time to come in and visit with me. I really do believe that the best learning environment comes from working together as a team and blending home and school!
Things to note:
· Remember this week is Kindness Week. Ask your kiddos what they did that was kind each day…they will amaze you!!
o Dress up days:
§ Monday – Pajama Day
§ Tuesday – Crazy Outfit Day
§ Wednesday – Hat Day
§ Thursday – Crazy Hair Day
· Every track off break, I prepare “Track Off Packets” and extra lists of HFW for those families interested in keeping your kiddo busy during break. This is completely optional but kids do have an opportunity to earn a pizza lunch (completed packet) and ice cream sundaes (passing the next 3 HFW lists when we return). Please let me know if you are interested in having a “track off packet” for your child. If you are, I will send them home during our last week before break.
· Andelin Pumpkin Patch -- Tuesday, October 30th! Please turn in your child’s permission slip and $8.00 ASAP if you haven’t already done so. Also, if your name was drawn as a chaperone, please make sure that you also pay your $8.00 fee. Thank you!!!! =) (Thank you to Ms. Mari, Ms. Koleen, and Ms. Sabrina for joining us!!! Also, thank you to those who volunteered but did not get drawn out. We could not do this fun stuff without your willingness to join us!!!)
