September 17th, 2009 | Author: Mrs. Monteiro
My daughter has croup! She has been home with a fever since Monday evening. My mother-in-law came to the rescue Tuesday, Wednesday Mr. Monteiro stayed with her, but since she is still running a fever, today must be my day to stay home with her. Thankfully Mr. Monteiro has already agreed to take Friday duty, if necessary, so I’ll only have to miss one day this week. While I’m happy to be home taking care of her, I really dread missing school, especially this early in the year when we are just beginning to establish routines. To be honest, I dread writing substitute plans at any time of the year as it is so much easier for me to just come in and teach than it is to explain to someone else what needs to be done! Thank God for Mrs. Holbrook is all I can say! I’m sure the kids will be in good hands in my absence.
They will be introduced to the ABC Center today and they will continue to make choices around the room. Ask them which centers they went to. Also, ask them if there was a center they wanted to go to but didn’t have time. Remind them how lucky they are to be staying for long days next week so they will have so much more time to get to those centers they didn’t have time for on the short days! They will also be going to Phys. Ed. with Miss Cook. I wonder what they will do there today?
