Many kiddos have ran out of these times and I have had many students borrowing supplies the last few weeks, which I am happy to do. I also know how they like to be "owners" of these times and they don't always like having to borrow. Thanks in advance.
Medical Leave
I am going on medical leave, for a left hip arthroscopy and will be out for 5 days. I will be having the surgery on March 7th and plan to return after Spring Break. My substitute is Mrs. Hart. She will be there from March 7-11. Mrs. Hart has been a sub at Black Bob, she is very familiar with our school. She has done 2 of my long term sub jobs, when I was on maternity leave, so I have confidence she will do a great job in my classroom.
I will continue to check my email when I’m gone. Please feel free to contact Myself or Mrs. Putthoff if you have any questions while I am gone.

#oneword Challenge: Choose just one word and discover the big impact it can make! One word you can focus on every day, all year long...One word that sums up who you want to be or how you want to live. It will take intentionality and commitment, but if you let it, your one word will shape not only your year, but also you. It will become the compass that directs your decisions and guides your steps. What is your one word?
