January 3 & 4 Lesson Plans
If you haven't had a chance to try something new, this is the time. Thanks for setting aside a little bit of time to get everyone back into the groove of being part of a "school family".
Please watch for a social story and morning routine pages to go home on Tuesday with your kids. We will then follow up with a call to parents the afternoon of Monday, Jan 1 to remind them school starts Wednesday and to read the social story in their backpack.

UCM Partnership...building our legacy
When I look at our future here at GBEEC, I am a bit overwhelmed by the number of staff retirements in the next five years. We will literally have hundreds of years of experience walk out of our doors. One way to help ensure our legacy of quality programming for kids is to grow/recruit the next generation...that is what this partnership is all about for me.
If you have ideas or concerns you would like to share about this possibility, send them to me prior to Tuesday afternoon....I will include them in my conversation with UCM.
THANK YOU so much! More to come on this opportunity to grow our next generation of early educators.
