What's the Buzz?

Well l, it must be that our Spring Concert is THIS THURSDAY!!!!  Please plan on joining us Thursday evening to watch Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grades sing their sweet hearts out (and there's some dancing, too!).  All children should be in their classrooms by 6:15.  After their performance, they will return to the classroom and you can pick them up there after the entire show.  Mark your calendars, clear your schedules, and make plans now - so I don't have to "bug" you again.  It's sure to be a "buzzing" good time :)

Lock Down Drill

     Just in case you haven't heard yet, we had a lock down drill today.  This was a planned drill that we've known about well in advance of today.  Just like fire drills and tornado drills, we practice these periodically just to prepare everyone for those "what if" scenarios.  I just wanted you to hear it from me just in case your child did not give you the complete details :) Your children did a fantastic job following directions and practicing a safe lock down.  I was very proud of them.
     Occasionally, kids who are more savvy to current events show some anxiety over lock downs, so you may want to be sensitive to that for a few days if your child really seems to want to talk about it.  When we practice at school we don't go into much detail, but rather relate the experience to fire and tornado drills and the need to practice safe procedures from time to time so we don't forget what to do.  I like to tell anxious children that I was a student for 13 years, in college for 4 years, and a teacher for 10+ years and that in all that time, I've never been in a "real" fire/tornado/lock down at school and that I don't worry about it one little bit.  That usually helps :)
     If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me and we can discuss them.  I hope that you all have a fantastic weekend - It is supposed to be absolutely GORGEOUS!

Goin' Buggy

On March 22nd, our class will be performing in the DDES Spring Concert.  The title of our program is ""Goin' Buggy."  The children have been working hard to learn songs, memorize lines, and perform dances that they will share with you that evening.  Please plan on joining us that evening as we show off our sweet songs, voices, and moves!  It will be a lot of fun :)

School Pictures

     This Friday we will be taking our spring pictures.  In tomorrow's Tuesday Folder, please look for 2 separate order forms.  One is for individual pictures and one if for our class picture.  We will be happy to accept orders all week long, but please turn in your order forms by Friday if you wish to purchase pictures.  Then start practicing your best, sweetest, loveliest, handsomest (not cheesiest) smile for Friday!
