In this week's happenings (10/21-10/25)

Gooood evening parents/guardian!


Phew, what a busy/exciting day!! Quite a few things happened on this Monday that kept me busy, busy, BUT all for my school. I began my day re-organizing my room (luckily I have my little brother who attends Poly and doesn't mind waking up earlier on Monday's to help me). After this I had breakfast duty, a time I feel is pretty relaxing and a great way to begin the children's day (helping them get breakfast and just saying Good morning). Than my teaching day begin, the first day of Red Ribbon week. Today, as you may have noticed, was wear a red shirt day. After the school day ended, I had the pleasure of attending my first REACH ELAC meeting. I was excited to help out with the meeting and get the school year started in a great way. After this I came home, rested for a bit, then headed off to Target to get my PJ's for tomorrow and part of my Halloween costume for next week (I have a feeling my kiddos are going to love it!!! I will be attempting to dress up as one of their favorite book characters).
