Letter from Sra. Farias
Thank you for a wonderful IPAD Professional Development day. Thanks to Kaelyn for putting together our workshop and providing us with so many wonderful IPAD moments! I hope that everyone got something useful from the presentation and from playing with your IPADS. It was great to see the joy anticipating the use of IPADS in the classrooms. I so loved watching Marseille and Juliet with the Pre-K Apps! I know everyone is hoping to find some plug-in chargers. I went on E-Bay and typed in IPAD chargers and found some for $3.20 and free shipping. You might want to investigate.
A special thank you to all the teachers who brought food, drink, and other donations to our Potluck on Wednesday. Thanks to Lizbeth for letting us use the space.
Today the Construction crew was here to finalize the working of our elevator. I say we do an Elevator Day for each class on Monday. We must tell our classes that the elevator is not to be used whenever they want. The elevator is mainly for injuries, hauling heavy things, visitors, parents and very tired teachers of any age!!! Students will continue using stairs until Ms. Dempsey returns.
Let's schedule the following for Monday:
Pre-K can go up for Breakfast on the elevator with their teachers (10 plus a teacher). (up and down)
Kinder A and Kinder B- Lunch (up and down)
First and Second Grades-Lunch (up and down)
Third and Fourth Grades-Lunch (up and down)
Fifth Grade -Lunch (up and down)
Sixth, 7th and 8th -Lunch (up and down)
Teacher must accompany students at all times going up and down on this first day.
We must make sure kids know not to jump up and down while the elevator is moving and how to wait patiently for the doors to open on their own without pushing any buttons.
If you need me to be the bell boy on the elevator just ask!
Blessings,
Sra. Amparo Farias
