Newsletter Updates

We had a busy first week, getting to know each other and beginning to establish our classroom routines.  It will take us a few weeks to get the routines down.  Friday was an especially busy day, as we chased the Gingerbread Man all around the school.  We visited many places and met several important people who work at our school, including the cooks, Mrs. Kelley (gym), Mrs. Eisenga (librarian), the custodians, Mr. Smith (principal), Mrs. Hill (secretary), & Mrs. Huttenga (school success worker).  We finally found the Gingerbread Man back in our own classroom and we quickly gobbled him up  before he could run away again.  The students were very excited; I hope you had a chance to hear all about it!

PICTURES:
Our picture day is tomorrow—Tuesday, September 13th.  All students will be photographed for the year book and library cards.  If you’d like to       purchase pictures, please be sure to send in your payment and completed envelope by tomorrow morning.  Don’t forget your SMILE!

SPECIALS: 
This week we will begin our normal schedule for specials.

I’m working on putting together a parent volunteer calendar.  If you indicated that you were interested in volunteering in the classroom, I will be contacting you soon!  Thanks for your willingness to help out!
