From the desk of Mr. Dunlap

The kindergarten and first grade will be using the climbing wall
during the month of January. This requires they wear shoes to school
along with their snow boots. We can't climb on the wall without shoes.
Other activities the kids will be doing during the month of January
include; tumbling, ABC ladders, and fitness games.

Report Card

Next week, we will begin testing for Quarter 2.  We will have testers coming in to help the kindergarten teachers assess for the report card.  Report Cards will be sent home on January 13, 2011 as long as we have no snow days.  Your children have grown so much already this year, you should be proud of all of their progress as I am.  They have been such a blessing this year and so fun to work with. 

Winter Weather

We are now in the "Winter Weather."  Due to time constraints I am unable to dress 22 students for the cold weather.  Your child needs to be able to get dressed by themselves to go outside.  Please understand that we go outside unless it is raining or for severe cold.  Your child must have snow pants, boots, coat, hats and gloves if they want to play in the snow.   All children must have boots, coat, hat and gloves.

Your child will go outside unless they have a note from a doctor for a medical reason. I do not like to leave children unsupervised in the classroom as I have recess duty or I am in the office, rest room or talking with another teacher during that time.
