LOVE Project Homework Update

This note will be coming home on Monday, but I wanted to give you a heads up.

The L.O.V.E. Project that was sent home on Monday can seem very overwhelming to both the students and the parents. We really want the students to take time and really think of nice things to say about their classmates. We don’t want vague comments like Suzy is nice. We want sentences that state why Suzy is nice. For example, Suzy is a nice friend because she plays with me at recess. OR Suzy is a good person. She helps me with my work when I need help. Please help your child come up with some very thoughtful messages.

With that being said, we have decided to hold off on a homework packet for next week. Please use the time to make the L.O.V.E. Project special and meaningful. The due date of this project is Monday, February 6th. Thanks!!

Have a great weekend!

WOW! Time Flies!

Well, it's hard to believe, but the 2 months home with little Miss Emily have flown by for me. I will be returning to work next Wednesday. This is very bittersweet for me. I miss my other 25 boys and girls, but I know that I am going to miss my little peanut, too! I know it will be an adjustment, but I know after a few days, we'll all be back in the routine and swing of things again.

I wanted to thank you all for your understanding and support throughout my time off. It has been a long road to bringing Emily home and I enjoyed every minute with her...well, not the screaming minutes! :0) just kidding!

I wanted you to know that Miss Doyle will be sending home book orders tomorrow, so the website is already set. I don't have the info to log in here at home, but look out for the note coming home tomorrow.

Report cards will be coming home on Tuesday, so please be sure to look out for them in your child's STAR folder.

Here are some new pictures of Emily. I will see you all soon!
