Really? Four more days! I can hardly believe it but I have been reminded daily by all the excited voices in my classroom that SUMMER if finally here!!! Bitter sweet…
HOW TO SURVIVE THE LAST WEEK OF FIRST GRADE:
On Monday, we will have our Honor’s Program in the lunchroom from 9:00-9:30. Students need to wear their usual Blount attire and every child will receive a certificate. Please go straight to the lunchroom when you arrive so that you can get good seats. It will fill up quickly! Afterwards, you may have a few moments to take pictures but we will need to exit pretty quickly as second grade’s program will begin shortly after ours. Please send your child with their book bag to school on Monday so that I can send everything home with them. They will not need their book bags the remainder of the week. :)
On Wednesday, I will be out all day traveling with my family to Mobile to watch my nephew graduate Kindergarten. Stacey Dickinson will be our sub. The kids love her!!! I will return to give hugs and say good bye to the children on Thursday.
On Thursday, report cards will be issued at dismissal, not a minute earlier! If you know that your child will be absent or checking out early on Thursday, please send a self addressed and stamped envelope for their report card to be mailed. Otherwise, you may pick it up in the office on Friday or during our summer hours. {you will need to check the website for those exact hours}
Finally, a GREAT BIG THANKS for a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week! I was overwhelmed by all the cards, candy, Diet Cokes, flowers and gifts. A GREAT BIG THANKS to Brooke Nyberg for coming on Friday to take the kids to lunch and entertaining them for a whole hour while I enjoyed a wonderful lunch in the library with all my friends that Andi Graydon put together. We are truly blessed at Blount Elementary with a wonderful group of students, parents, and PTA that show continued support of education!!!
