Raise your hand if you want a five day school week???
Well, the kids have managed to make wonderful progress despite all the changes in their routines. It seems each day I sit and work with a student I notice a new skill they have mastered.
I enjoyed meeting with many of you for conferences and look forward to making up the rest next week. Although it is our last "official" conference, please feel free to set up an appointment at any time!
We had a good opportunity to discuss some of our academic endeavors at conferences, so let me take a minute to discuss some upcoming events.
February 7th-100th day of School Celebration: Please consider helping out from 9-11. A poll was sent via email. I totally understand how hard it has been to find childcare with all the crazy schedules, but it really makes a difference having extra hands for this celebration. At a minimum I need 4 additional adults to make it work.
February 13th-Your child can pass out valentines at school. A class list is going home with your child in the folder. It is great practice for your child to address each Valentine, so start early if you can!
February 22-Fun Fair: For those of you new to Irving-you do not want to miss the Fun Fair!!! It is a spectacular event that really is fun for the whole family. There are games in the cafeteria, a silent auction in the Kindergarten hallway, and dancing for desserts in the auditorium. The best part (in my humble opinion) is the staff talent show at the end of the fair. It really is a blast and the teachers at Irving put their hearts and soles into making a fool of themselves to make the kids happy and raise a little money. Yours truly will be dusting off my dancing shoes as part of a world famous dancing crew called the New Beats. We hit big time at the Irving Fun Fair a few years ago, only to lose for the next two years. Last year we regained our crown and hope to keep the trophy again this year! (You can usually find me in the back row turning the wrong way...) Mark your calendars! You DON'T want to miss it!
