Greetings room 106 Families!
WELCOME BACK! I hope this message finds you all well and warm. It has been a strange “spring break” so far, but hear we may reach a 60* day this week. Here’s to hoping! I have had the most wonderful week visiting with family, playing with my kids and going nowhere lol! It’s been the best. I have missed all the kids however, and am excited to return to school tomorrow! As the results came in for the March Reading Minutes competition, our class did not win the pizza party 🙁 However, I was SO impressed with our total minutes and the HUGE number of students that participated in our class that I would LOVE to have our own pizza party this week on Friday afternoon 🙂
Here is what you need to know this week as we come back from spring break:
*Tuesday, April 10th, 2018 is our Field Trip to the Detroit Zoo! Monday, I will receive the confirmation note of mom’s that are cleared to join us on the field trip! If you want to volunteer in school, make sure you have a current ichat background check form filled out and on file with Ms. Cathy in the office. I am waiting for her reply and will do a “lottery” with the kiddos on Monday! (I will be pulling SIX names to ride the bus with us and be the main chaperones. However, if your name is NOT pulled and you would like to meet us there anyways (pay for your admission/use your zoo membership) and walk with your child alone OR join your child’s group please reply or let me know in person tomorrow morning. I will ask Mr. Attee for permission but in my experience the more moms or dads the better! Please let me know if you’d like to make this arrangement so you will know where to meet us and where/what time to meet when we return to the bus!). All students are to ride to and from the Detroit Zoo with the teacher because I do not have the authority to dismiss them from my care at the zoo 🙂 Thank you for understanding!
*Mrs. Saylor brought to our attention that if a family has a “current” zoo membership where their children get in free, you simply have to give the teacher a photocopy of your membership tomorrow and your child will get in free with me too! If anyone has a membership and would like to send me a copy tomorrow morning only (I have to turn in our money Monday!) I will send back your child’s six dollars in an envelope and homework folder. Thank you Mrs. Saylor for letting us know this cool loop hole it makes those family passes worth it 🙂
*Permission Slips/Money were DUE before break! If you have not completed these two steps, I will have to arrange for you child to stay with another classroom during the field trip on Tuesday, April 10th, 2018 until we return to DuVall.
