Update:
I know many of you have been asking Mrs. Bondanza and Ms. Becker about my returning to school. I will be back on Monday. I apologize for being out for so long but I was doing my best to take care of myself so that when I did return I could be the best teacher possible for your child. I am very excited to see your children and to get back into the classroom. I have really missed all of them and it was with a heavy heart that I have been out so long. I appreciate your support through this whole ordeal. I cannot say thank you enough.
Readers/Sight Word Lists:
We do our very best for the kids to be listened to everyday. Unfortunately it doesn't always happen that way. If that's the case we will do our very best to listen to them the following day. Typically we allow them to take the book/list home again if they would like to continue to practice again, but that too doesn't always happen. Please understand we are doing our best to see to the needs of all 20 children.
Student of the Week:
I wanted to take a minute to tell you about our student of the week/star student program. Up until now we have done a student of the day. Everyone has gotten several turns. Now we do a student of the week where they are interviewed, they get to be teacher's helper, and line leader for an entire week. Everyone gets a turn so please assure your child that their turn will come. We really want to have an opportunity to celebrate and learn more about your child. We do try to coordinate the week to fall around their birthday if they were born at this time of year. It also helps those kids who might have a birthday that falls during the summer time. If they choose they can bring a treat in at the end of their week. I will give you plenty of warning if this is the case.
Thank you:
I just wanted to say thank you again for all the wonderful holiday goodies. I really appreciate all your support this year. It is such a joy to be your child's teacher. I love my job and I so look forward to coming back on Monday.
