I want to begin by congratulating the students on their fabulous behavior this past Tuesday and Wednesday. The substitute raved about how wonderful they were. It is so nice to hear those reports. I apologize for my absence, but as some of you know my father was taken by ambulance to Barnes Hospital in St. Louis and I needed to be with my family. He is home now and we take everything a day at a time. I thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers.
We look forward to a visit from Heather Schullian’s father Monday. He has quite a collection of snakes I am told and will be visiting our class room. I extend to all parents and grandparents the opportunity to visit us and share an interesting talent or hobby or career. The exposure is priceless to the students and your involvement is greatly appreciated and noted.
Please remember that Wednesday, September 13 is an institute day for teachers and that classes will not be in session. I am sure your children will remind you. :)
Also this Friday, September 15th is our initial visit to Sunset Home. We are part of the Adopted Grandparents Program sponsored by the Excahnge Club. Our first trip allows for the students and residents to meet and begin to establish a relationship. I mentioned to them that photographs are a great way to begin conversations. I encourage each student to bring pictures of their family or from a vacation to help break the ice.
Have a great week.
