Classroom News: Week of November 17th

Hi Room 203 families,

Wow, I can’t believe it’s almost Thanksgiving! Thank you so much for all you’ve done to make this a wonderful year so far. I want to let you know that I will be out of town this week (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) in New York City for a Skype in the Classroom event as well as an event at the United Nations Headquarters. Your child will be in excellent hands and Ms. Roberts will be here to help make everything run smoothly. I will be checking email as often as possible but if you have any immediate concerns or change in transportation, please call the classroom, the office, and write a note in your child’s planner. Feel free to follow my NYC adventures at teachandtouchlives.blogspot.com. :)

News and Reminders:

  • Claxton Holiday and Grandparents Lunch is this Friday, November 21st! We welcome you to eat lunch with your child/grandchild for our annual Holiday Meal. Please write a note in your child’s planner if your child will have guests attending. Our class goes to lunch at 10:40.  Guests are also invited to visit the Book Fair with their child after lunch. This is a great chance to get some holiday shopping in.
