Classroom News
First of all I would just like to tell parents what a joy it has been to have your children in my classroom. I am not sure what they have all filled you in on so far, but the classroom has been a busy place. So far this year we have done everything from learning multiplication to learning how to care for the class hamster. It has been a joy to see the children grow with each new experience. I hope that they are keeping you filled in at home!
Parent Volunteers!
As you may have seen in the last newsletter he class is always looking for parent volunteers. There are a variety of science experiments and crafts that would require more help. If there are any parents who would like to volunteer to come in to the classroom for an hour or two and help out with these activities please contact me. The activities will be based on the days we get volunteers, so there is no need to rearrange your schedules around it. Also, there are some holiday parties coming up that I will be sending out information on. If you are willing to be on a committee there will be a sign up sheet at conferences.
