Families of Room 31 ~


On this glorious day, I am taking a few moments to to reflect on how grateful I am that I have such a wonderful group of students to work with each day.  I’m enormously grateful for my students, as well as their family.   My students laugh at my horrible jokes or my singing.  They put their faith in my instruction and requirements.
Yet truly, I’m grateful for the way students inspire me to be a better teacher each and every day.   I’m grateful for the relationship we've built and for the memories we share, and for those moments when they finally “get it” – whatever “it” is – and allow me a front row seat to their joy.  I must say, I have a job I look forward to going to each and every day.

Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving.

WATER/ SHAMPOO / PARENT -STUDENT CONFERENCES

Families of Room 31 ~
It's hard to believe it is already November.  I wish I had a magic wand and could slow down this school year!  There are a few important reminders to share:

1.  WATER - Please make sure to send your child to school with water early this week.  The town is flushing the water lines and the water may be discolored with sediment. 

2.  PARENT / STUDENT CONFERENCES -  Many of our parent / student conferences have begun.  Your child is going to be actively involved in our discussions.  Each conferences will be approximately 40 minutes in length.  If you and your child are meeting on Thursday, Nov. 9th, it will be important that we stick to our time-lines as the day is full with back to back conferences.  I look forward to meeting with everyone. 

3.  NO SCHOOL - There is NO SCHOOL on Thursday, November 9th due to Parent / Student Conferences.  Also, there is NO SCHOOL on Friday, November 10th in honor of Veteran's Day.

4.  THANKSGIVING COLLECTION -   Our homeroom has been charged with bring in SHAMPOO and $1.00 for the Student Council Annual Thanksgiving collection.  We've set a goal of reaching a minimum of 25 bottles of shampoo as well as $25.00.  We know if we all work together, we can reach our goal!  Thanks in advance for your support.  All items and money are due by November 14th.  Thanks to those who have already sent it in!  We are on our way!

5.  HALLOWEEN CANDY - Halloween Candy will be collected in the front lobby until November 13th!

As always, thanks for your continued support.  Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
