Mar. 2- Mar. 6

Hello Parents and Families!

A huge THANK YOU to all who helped plan, attend, or give in anyway towards the surprise baby shower last week. I was completely caught off-guard and felt so special and honored, thank you!

Maternity Leave: Introducing Mrs. Robin Hanson

My due date is right around the corner, Tuesday March 3rd. I am planning on finishing the week through March 6th and having my maternity replacement, Robin Hanson, begin on Monday, March 9th. Mrs. Hanson may look familiar, she has several years of classroom experience from her time working at CEC (our pre-school on campus). She has taken a few years off from the classroom to care for her two young children, Oliver (4), and Mabel (2). She has graciously accepted the position of maternity leave for the 8 week term and is looking forward to her time in the classroom once again. Robin has already been introduced to our students and has spent some time with us in-class learning our routines and daily activities. It is with full confidence that I can say Robin is a great fit for Twin Lakes and our second grade class. 

 

There are a few things that will be placed on hold while I am away. We will take a break from our weekly Math Facts quizzes, I will not be sending home weekly readers in the small manila envelopes that accompany our Language Arts story each week, and we will not have any Mitchellville market places while I am out. I will do my best to update the blog on a weekly basis to keep you as informed as I can. I plan on returning Monday, May 4th to finish out the school year!
