Happy January!

Hello All!

I hope everyone had a restful break!!  I spent most of my time finishing the renovations on the new house.  My husband and I finally moved in!  Hooray!!  We still have much to do, but hopefully we can get them done before the baby arrives!  :)

We started a new theme in January - Winter Wonderland.  I recently sent home the newsletter - sorry for the delay!  This week we are reading The Snowy Day, by Ezra Jack Keats...and the kiddos are LOVING it!  We are recalling information, learning thematic vocabulary, recalling events from the story, and even having "snow ball fights!"  We are playing in shaving cream and twirling snowflakes in the air.  We are having a blast!

Progress Reports were sent home last week.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to email me and I'll call you follow up!  The kids are really doing great!  And on our first day back (while it was a change from vacation), the kids did great!  He fell right back into the swing of things!

Just a side note:  Teasley ES is implementing a new policy on tardies.  Tardies and Absences do not apply to our kiddos, however, the new rule for tardies is that if you arrive in the car rider lanes after the bell has rung at 7:50, then you must park your car and bring your child inside.  This new rule has drastically changed the amount of tardies school-wide:  from 50+ to about 10!  I mention this to y'all because most of our kiddos are car riders.  Due to the lack of parking, it seems that going through the car rider lane is the best option, however, when the kids get here early in the morning, we are waiting outside (rain, cold weather, etc.) for up to 30 minutes until the remaining kids arrive.  So, I am asking that you please bring your child as close to 7:20 as possible.  I know things happen in the mornings, and I completely understand.  So, I always have my phone on me in the mornings (for this reason), so just text me saying you'll be late/sick/absent/etc. and we can at least get the kiddos in the classroom so they can get ready to start their day.  Thank y'all for your understanding!!

Time for a Break!

Hey Y'all!

I hope everyone is doing well, and that y'all are ready for Christmas and the holidays.  I haven't even done any shopping yet...

It was so great to see everyone for our Chrismas party!  We had a great time!  Thank you to everyone who attended and sent in snacks!  You know we love to eat!

Just wanted to remind you that our last day of this year (yikes! Time flies!) is tomorrow, December 22, 2011.  And that we'll be seeing everyone on Tuesday, January 10, 2012.  So this means that we are out of school for 2 weeks.  I am sending home a Social Story that you can read to your child if you like.  Social Stories are simple stories that consider situations from the perspective of the child to help improve on social understandings.

Here is a link to download, but I'll send one home on Thursday.  Download Vacations social story

Next month's theme is Winter Wonderland!!  :)  Hopefully, we might see some snow to reinforce what we are going to be talking about!

Thanks to all!  Y'all are amazing!  See you soon!

Quick Catch-Up

Hey Y'all!

Just to let you know, this Friday is Character Day!  I sent home a note today explaining what to do.

Download SNPK Character Day newsletter

  This week is conference week:  partial day kiddos are dismissed at 11 and full day kiddos are dismissed at 12.  Conferences have been scheduled.  Please let me know if you cannot make it, or need to reschedule.  Conferences are limited to 20 minutes, sorry!  I, alone, can talk for about 45.  ;)  So, to keep things on task, we are going to review the most recent progress report (data collected from IEP goals and objectives) and current functioning (how your kiddo is performing in the classroom).  And if you have any concerns, we can address those as well.  This conference does not have any correlation with the annual IEP.

The book fair is open!  We took a tour of it on Friday and the kiddos loved it!  We found some great books for our little ones.  The last day for the book fair is this Wednesday.  Come check it out!  It's located in the Media Center.

This month's theme is coming to a close!  :(  Next month's theme is On the Farm!  Newsletter to follow soon!

Thank you for all that you do!  Y'all are amazing!!  :)
