Welcome: 2016-2017 School Year

Summer is over, at least for me!  I had a great summer.  I went diving in Grand Cayman!  Unfortunately, everyone on the boat forgot to bring an underwater camera, so no pictures.  I saw moray eels, sharks, stingrays, angel fish, incredible coral and so much more.  It was incredible and I am very glad that I went out of my comfort zone to certify in scuba diving last year.

We're gearing up for classes next week.  We've had two Back To School Nights in order for parents and children to come meet the staff and see the classrooms

We have two classrooms:

This is the team for Miss Jeana's classroom.  L-R:  Miss Jeana (teacher), Miss Carrie (Speech-Language Pathologist), Miss Suzanne (paraeducator), and Miss Jan (paraeducator).  We're still waiting for one more paraeducator to join our team.

This is the team for Miss Julie's Classroom.  L-R:  Miss Shirley (paraeducator), Miss Carrie (Speech-Language Pathologist), Miss Debbie (paraeducator), Miss Sarah (paraeducator), and Miss Julie (teacher). 

We have the best teams at our school!  These women are all passionate about their jobs.  We are all excited about the new school year and have some great plans in the works.

First thing on my list is teaching the children to wash their hands.  We'll be learning a hand-washing song and about germs, covering our mouths when we cough or sneeze, and when we need to wash our hands (before snack time, or anytime hands are dirty).  I will be posting our lesson so parents can use the same vocabulary at home.

See you next week!
