HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

With a four day weekend ahead of us, I just wanted to take this second to let each and every one of you and your students know how thankful I am for my class and their parents this year. The students are so sweet and caring. Our class has high times and low times as any family would, but in the end we all get along with each other and we all care for one another. There is no name calling and no blatant rudeness. They are all really good kids and for that I am truly thankful. I am also truly thankful for all the volunteers we've had this year. I know I have hard times coming up with things for all of you to do, but I want you to know that I am thankful for what's been done and for what will still come. Finally, all you parents at home, I am thankful for you. My job as a teacher would not be possible without your support!

A few reminders: we perform our play next week. our final dress rehearsal is Monday. Parents, you are invited to come and see the play on Thursday at 2:45. The auditorium will be pretty full with students for the other performances, but there should be plenty of room for you on the Thursday performance. Thanks for all the support I've had with the play.

Also remember that our class store will be next Friday. If you have anything around the house your kids would like to bring in and sell, have them bring it on Friday. Also, our first class party will be the same Friday. I've not had any volunteers yet, so if you have a game, craft, or something you'd be willing to do in rotations with the kids, let me know.

It is a time of thanks, so one more time, just, thanks, for everything! I love my job and I wouldn't have it without parents, students, and a school!
