This blog is coming to you in the midst of conferences this Thursday and Friday. So exciting! I can't wait to share with you how your kiddo is doing this year! This is an amazing class with lots of energy, creativity, and empathy. I feel very lucky to have this group of explorers and I really can't believe the end of the fall term is upon us! This is also a good time for me to share a few reminders with you:
*If you are not receiving emails from myself or Mrs. Warner, please let us know as soon as possible. We want you to be informed!
*The school's website has a calendar and updates that you need to check out, even if you are reading the blogs each week. In case I forget to list an important date here, but I know for sure you'll find it there. http://sonshinechristian.org/elementary-school/
*Sending water bottles with your kiddo is super helpful!
*Please check your child's green folder every night and remove papers they are bringing home. They can keep their spelling/sight word list for the week in there to use for homework throughout the week. That is an especially great idea if they meet with Ms. Jill during aftercare. They know exactly where to get their homework.
*Please let me know if you ever have questions. I prefer email for answers that may take longer than a simple text. I try to respond to emails within 24 hours. You can copy Mrs. Warner on anything you think would be helpful for her to know, and visa-versa. If you email Mrs. Warner and think it would be something helpful for me to know, you can copy me. Many of you already do this, and I appreciate it so much!

As part of our accreditation process and school improvement planning we are asking that all of our parents take a simple on-line survey.
