Hello all. This has been a great week. We had our pet day that came from a proposal a couple of weeks ago. We were visited by charming pets and stories of pets last Friday. Check out pictures on the blog of our friends.
This week's meeting had a proposal that did not pass to have a take-apart day. Albert will re-propose it with some supplemental information in a couple of weeks. It sounds like fun but some kids weren't sure about it. Some of our classmates have moved up to a level III in responsibility. Some of the students found that its more complicated than they thought.
We are starting some ready groups during reading time. These will run for varying lengths and change from time to time as we work through the year. Some work with me and some with parents. The more parents we have volunteering the more groups we can have. Let me know if helping from 10:45 to 11:45 works for you!
We have a field trip this Wednesday to Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. If you can help drive that would be great as we are pretty short on drivers right now.
I will be out of the room on Monday for (Critical Friends Group) CFG professional development training. I am a facilitator for this group and once a month I have a meeting in the mornings. Usually its on Wednesday, but we have a field trip that day so it was rescheduled for Monday. Additionally, I will be out Friday for an appointment. Sorry to have two things in one week but I wasn't entirely in charge of either event. Marc will be my sub both days. The kids know him already and he's got a good rapport with them.

Hope things are going well at home for all your lovely children. Let me know if there are concerns. We're working hard to learn and have fun! Thanks for your support.
Beth
