We won’t have a “student of the week” next
week since there is no school on Friday.
Summer
Birthdays
If your child has
a summer birthday and would like to celebrate it during the school year, just
drop me a note or an e-mail. You do not
have to send treats. We usually let that
person be the line leader for the day and also give him/her a sticker & a
pencil. It just makes them feel special
for the day:)
A
New Addition to our Class
Our
room (and many others) received a new iPad to be used in the classroom. We just
received it on Wednesday and I am working on downloading some APPS that can be
used within the classroom. I am very excited about this and can’t wait to start
using it. Thank you to our PTO for
purchasing this for us and also to all parents for supporting our PTO events.
