What a great first full week of school. The kids are doing an amazing job at centers, I can not be more proud! They also enjoyed this week's Foody Fun Friday. We made a special drink, but they had to follow the correct instructions (steps and measurements) for it to come out yummy! We also celebrated our first classroom birthday!
I wanted to inform you all that I will be out of the classroom for about two week for CELDT testing. I will be testing on both campus (flip-flopping between both campuses on a daily basis). When I am on our campus, I will be popping in to say "Hi" to the kids and reminding them to be on their best behavior. I am expected to be out all week Aug 28-Oct 1 and then full days Oct 5-6 and half days Oct 8-9. My substitute will be someone that has subbed for REACH for over three months last year as a long term substitute. I will be doing all the planning and setting everything up in the morning on a daily basis. Please speak with your child about showing the substitute respect and treating them exactly like myself. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me or stop by the classroom.
