Exciting News for Next Year!

I will be staying in D-8 next year teaching Kindergarten!!  These past few months have been extremely frustrating for me, with the uncertainty of my teaching assignment (K or 6???), but patience paid out and I was fortunate enough to get to stay in the grade that I love to teach.  I know that with my surgery next week, you all won't be seeing me until November, but at least you will know where to look for me when I am back.  Thanks again for everyone's courtesy and support through all of this, it has definitely been a bit of a roller coaster for me!  I miss you all already, and will keep you all updated with what's going on in the Linnet Home throughout my recovery.  Can't wait to get back into the classroom!!

Happy Summer!!

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is loving NOT being at school this week!  How is everyone's summer going so far??  I have been very busy as of late, which is a good thing since I will have a VERY LONG rest in a couple of weeks.  I am still hoping to remain in my current classroom next year if all goes well, but no matter what I will still be at Cordelia Hills, you just may not see me until after Halloween.

I just met with my Doctor this afternoon and was given some unfortunate new information.  Apparently my ankle surgery will be more involved then originally thought, and will require me to be off from work until early November.  They have to replace ligaments, repair tendons, and cut/reshape the ankle bone at my heel so that my foot is better aligned with my natural stance (this will give better stability and protect against turning my ankle in the future).

Since I will not be around for a while, I would love for you all to keep in contact with me on the blog.  It is going to get very boring sitting around the house with my foot elevated for 4 months, but hearing from all of you will greatly help in keeping my spirits up.  Feel free to leave me messages all summer and into the start of the year, I would love to know how the school is doing when I am not there!!

My surgery is on July 7th, so I will post again after the surgery to let you all know how it went, and where my class will be next year (Kindergarten or Sixth Grade).  Until then, have lots of fun for me and enjoy your summer!!

School events next week...

...we are almost there, the FINAL week of the school year!  We have a lot of cool things planned for next week and I want to make sure that everyone knows what to expect. 

On Monday, June 13th, we will have the school BBQ during the student's lunch time.  If your child normally has a school lunch, they will already be receiving a BBQ lunch.  If they do not normally eat school lunch, then they can purchase the BBQ lunch for the same price as a school lunch.  Kinders will be dismissed as normal, and can go to the BBQ with their family if you wish to attend.

On Tuesday, June 14th, the school celebrates outdoor education with the annual Field Day.  Our class will be participating first thing in the morning.  Dress for outdoor play (including getting a little wet).  The dress code will still be inforced (no sandals, spaghetti-straps, etc.).  Shorts and Tennis shoes would be great today!!

On Friday, June 17th, we will have a minimum day for the last day of school.  Please make sure that all books are returned, and any fines are paid so that we can give your child their Report Card &/or Yearbooks.  These items will be held in the office until outstanding fines are paid off.

Thanks again for the great year, and let's enjoy the last week of this school year!!
