CLASS PERFORMANCE :)

We are so excited to announce that our class will be sharing a song at Robertson Roundup next Friday (February 26th) and we would love for you to attend!

As you know, Open House is coming fast and we have been studying oceans preparing for that night. We are busy researching and learning as well as creating all sorts of fun crafts and projects to share with you when you come. So, in keeping with the theme of what we are learning we have decided to sing an ocean song for our performance.

On the day of the performance I would love for the kids to "dress the part" as much as they are able. It is certainly too cold to dress for the beach, but if your child has a hawaiian or "surfer" style shirt to wear that day, it would be really helpful. Also, if they have a pair of sunglasses, a beach towel and/or a beach hat please send those as well. :)

And, again, thank you for helping us make this a success!

We are really excited to share one of our favorite songs with you and the rest of the student body!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Green

NEW PICK UP PROCEDURES

As I am sure all of you have seen, kindergarten and 1st grade are now handling car pickup a little differently. :) This is being done to help things go a little more smoothly at the end of each day.

Here are a few highlights from the information that has gone home regarding the changes:

1. Please join the car rider pick up line using ONLY THE FIRST OR SECOND LANE. You should only access the 3rd lane once you have picked up your child. We ask that no one use the third lane to get ahead of other cars or to gain access to openings toward the front of the line.

2. There is no longer a separate loading area for kinder and a separate loading area for first grade. We will be loading cars in the area between the 2 signs posted and we will be loading both grades simultaneously.

3. We will only be loading cars that are located between the 2 loading signs.

And lastly, if you have any questions about the information that you have read on my blog or the letter that has come home from Mr. Iorio on this subject, please feel free to contact me and I will try to clear up any confusion. :)

Thank you so much for being patient and flexible. We really believe these changes will make our pickup time safer and more efficient.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Green

And don't forget your child's class project for our upcoming Valentine's Day party. If you haven't already turned one in, please help your child in creating a valentine box to house all of the wonderful valentines he/she is sure to receive on Friday!

Also, as you are addressing your child's valentines, be sure to include one for every student in our class. We don't want anyone to be left out!

And lastly...thank you SO MUCH to all of the parents that volunteered to donate items for our Valentine's Day party! I really appreciate your help!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Green
