We had an amazing 3 days last week! Everyone worked really hard adjusting to school and learning the classroom expectations! We had such a successful week that the entire class earned a sundae party!! On Friday afternoon everyone received a heaping bowl of vanilla fudge ice cream and they were able to choose their own toppings. We had whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate crunch topping, and hot fudge. Our room smelled heavenly and everyone ate with gusto! It was a great way to end the first week of school!
This week, we are starting to talk about the importance of school. We are working hard to become a "team" and we are working on creating our classroom rules. I am also introducing the students to our daily schedule and all of our classroom routines. This will take us a few weeks to iron out, but I know we will get there! I am so blessed to have 18 wonderful students this year!! We are going to have so much fun!
Here are a few notes for the next few days:
FLYNN THEATER FIELD TRIP: Today I sent home a bright green piece of paper that is a permission slip for your child to go to the Flynn Theater in October to see Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. This is a fantastic show and I am so excited to share this experience with your child. Please sign and return the permission slip as soon as possible along with the $8.00 fee. You can pay in cash or send a check made payable to UMS. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please check that box on the permission slip. I will put all of the interested parents' names into a hat and pull out 1 or 2 names. I will contact you if your name is chosen and you can send your money in at that time.
UMS PICTURE DAY: Next Wednesday, September 14th is our picture day. Picture order forms went home on Friday. Please fill it out and return it to school as soon as possible. All forms must be returned by Wednesday if you are ordering pictures. If you do not want to order your child's picture, that is fine. Everyone in the class will receive a class picture.
LOTS OF PAPERWORK: I just want to remind you that a lot of paperwork has been sent home in the last few days. If you have any paperwork left at home. please fill it out and return it to school with your child. I have sent home a blog permission slip, medical forms from the nurse, the home-school compact, the background check necessary to volunteer, and the Flynn permission slip. I also sent home a book order which is due this Friday if you are ordering books. Please pay with a check made payable to Scholastic Book Clubs.
** I am still waiting for a few blog permission slips to come back before I start posting pictures.
