We enjoyed some free choice time with our friends.

We would like to welcome Mrs. Pamela Warren to Lindbergh.  She will be assisting our Kindergarten rooms for the next few weeks in an effort to assist in reading, writing, and math instruction.  Mrs. Warren was a teacher and her children have attended Lindbergh in the past.  She will be doing both small group work and whole group assist in both our room and Mrs. Stetz’s room.  She will be utilizing the room across the hall as a work station for small group work.  We are happy to have her here!

• Permission slips, payment and waivers are due ASAP.
• Parent chaperones will be allowed to ride the bus or drive separately…… it is your choice.
• We will be going to Kroger in the morning and then traveling to LifeTime Fitness and eating our lunch there before our activities.

Hope this helps answer some chaperoning questions.

Tomorrow is our PBIS reward.  We will be having a game day for our November reward.  Those kids who were on green 80% of the month will have 30 minutes of board game time.  If your child would like, they can send in a board game they already know how to play.  Please make sure this is not a new game that is still wrapped in plastic.  Also, please make sure all the piece are there.  If you do not have a game to send in, there will be plenty of others to play.  Great job Lindbergh Flyers!!
