Big Stuff Happening This Week

Happy Monday, September 23, 2013

What a wonderful day back from our weekend. It was full of so many smiles and happy words. This week we have a ton of activities and I want to give you a heads up so we are all ready.

First, tomorrow is “Crazy Head Day” and our bus evacuation drill. Crazy head day means we got 250 Sauvie stars (hooray for how outstanding our student are) and now we are celebrating. We get to celebrate with a funny hat, silly hair, or some other school appropriate “crazy head” idea. In my room we will be making apple life cycle headbands, so if you are not inspired there is no pressure to come up with something. The bus evacuation drill is simple and quick. We will get on a bus, the driver will talk about bus safety for around ten minutes, and then we will exit the bus and leave for P.E. So don’t forget your P.E. shoes!

Second reminder is our field trip. Please have your child bring their boots and rain coat. We will be outside most of the time, and we will get wet and muddy. Please put on the appropriate clothes. An extra pair of shoes is a must as well. I, myself, will bring tennis shoes to change into after our trip so we leave as much dirt outside as we can.

Third, this Thursday is our Open House. It’s at 6 p.m. and it is a chance for your child to give you a tour of the school and show off their hard work. For teachers it’s a time to highlight our project placed curriculum this far into the year. Unfortunately, it’s not a time to discuss individual students in depth, it’s mostly a time for your child to shine in their new environment. Watch for the upcoming newsletter.

Finally, on Friday we have a fire drill. We will be discussing this as a class and what it means to practice safety practices. This would be a good time to talk with your student about being safe and practicing emergencies so that we can be ready just in case.

 

Thanks so much all! See you Tuesday!

Cheers.
