Today’s post is coming before school starts for the day because after the kids leave, I have limited time to eat my lunch before running to another building for our afternoon of professional development…
I want to start by thanking everyone who has sent me emails this past week complimenting me on this blog. It really is a fun way for me to keep in contact with families since I don’t get to see you all each day. I did want to mention a few things about it though. If you have a question or comment about something I post, and it is not something child specific that needs to be kept private, you are more than welcome to click on the “No comments/1 comment/etc.” link at the top of each post (right under the post title) and post a comment right to the blog rather than sending me an email. Your question may be a question other parents have as well and if I can answer it once, that would be great. Also, it can be a nice open dialogue between all of us about things happening in the classroom. Don’t be surprised though it your comment doesn’t post immediately as I have to approve them in order to keep our comments spam free! The other thing I wanted to mention about the blog…while I have really enjoyed posting daily during these 2 short weeks, I will most likely have to cut back once the kids begin staying until 3:10 next week. With only a 30 minute special each day (and meetings being scheduled during some of those specials), my planning time is almost non-existent! My goal is to post once or twice a week. And if I slack and more than a week goes by without a post…you have my permission to email me a reminder to get on it!
Today, assuming all goes well 
, we will open the Dramatic Play center. The children did such a great job making choices of their own yesterday that we will continue to do so again today. We will also finish our class name chart. Have a great day!
Hi. I, too, like this method of letting us know what the children are doing. I do have just one request: please post the schedule of special classes. So far the only one I know of is Library on Friday. Thanks!
The specials schedule was on the newsletter I sent home on Open House day (and the first post of the year) but I understand there was a LOT of information to read that day! So here it is again…Mondays: Art and Library (class only, no book return or checkout), Tuesdays: Music (starts next week since it is in the afternoon), Thursdays: Physical Education (wear sneakers!), Fridays: Library (book return and check out day!)
