I've Missed My Babies!!!

WOW!!!  It has been a long time since we've talked.  I've got a lot to say so here we go...

#1  DC-The trip was amazing!!  I loved it, the kids loved it, and MOST parents loved it.  Like I said in the parent meeting, it is not an easy trip.  There was a lot of walking and yes we even walked in the rain, the COLD rain.  I never heard a kid complain but this year I had lots of parents complaining.  It was very upsetting to me since I hold this trip near and dear to my heart and spend an entire year planning it.  It's too bad in this day and age that some adults can only focus on themselves and not on the group.  A group mentality means going with the flow and doing what's best for the group.  As a whole the parents were great but a few put a damper on the trip and I'm sorry for the parents that did have to endure the complaining.  A field trip is not a family vacation, it is educational enhancement for the children. 

#2  This week things are back to normal.  Normal spelling, math homework and normal reading.  We joked around today and said the wicked witch was back-Jarred said he liked it that way (I love you Jarred).  We are heavily into EOG review.  That's it!!!  REVIEW, REVIEW, AND MORE REVIEW!!!  We will be the smartest class in town.  Our goal is to surround ourselves with positive people who have positive attitudes which will in turn boost us up instead of bring us down.  POSITIVITY!!!!

#3  Picture money or pictures, candy money, t-shirt money, Eagle Nest Money.  ASAP-Thanks

#4  Playground fundraiser-Please read the yellow fundraiser sheet coming home on Tuesday about donating money for our new playground.  I would like for our class as a whole to raise $100 so we can have our class name imprinted on the playground plaque.  Carroll's Class of 2011 will be on the plaque if we can raise enough money ($100).  Send in your cash now-change, dollars, checks-we take it all!!!

I love you, families and children.  I hope I didn't offend anyone with the DC talk but it just had to be said.  I put everything I have into teaching and caring for your children, the same kindness back is always very rewarding.  TTYL
