September 16, 2009 Your child will need to bring a magazine or two tomorrow for school. We will need a magazine he or she can cut up and share with other students. We will be cutting out pictures of things that represent ourselves. If you do not have a magazine, that is fine, hopefully others will have some to share. September 16 Dear Parents, Your child will be coming home with picture order forms and chocolate updates! The pictures are on Wednesday, September 23. Please fill out your order form and send it in to school by Tuesday. I will hold on to them so they do not lose them or forget them on the day of pictures. Please remember to fill out the form completely since there are options for poses and background colors. If you are not going to order pictures, please email me and let me know so we are not looking for an order form. This also lessens the confusion on picture day! Thanks! As for chocolate, they are running specials and continuing the sale. Please refer to the gold handout for more info! I will be calling each of your homes between now and next Wednesday. This phone call is just to check in and make sure all is going well. If there is something you need to talk to me about, please do! I do ask for our Open House to be for the students to share their work. Please use the phone time to express any concerns you may have. This helps keep your child's progress confidential. If for some reason I cannot get a hold of you, please email me some times that are better for you. IF all is well and you would prefer not to be called, please let me know! Also all FULL CLASS parent emails will be posted on teacherweb for 1 month. Have a wonderful day! September 14 Our class profiles went home on Friday. Your child should have shared them with you.
