I am so happy with the way our year is beginning! It's been such a blessing to get to know your children this year! Unfortunately, I have been out of the classroom about one day a week for assessments regarding the KRA- Kindergarten Readiness Assessment. Next week should be the last week for these beginning of the year assessments and things will hopefully be back to normal. Fortunately, we have awesome guest teachers who are getting to know our kids, so even though I'm not in the classroom with them for a day, I am confident they are getting all of the same information. :)
As a side note, I was out on Thursday, Sept. 25 for a minor surgery. I tried to explain it the best way I could to my students. I said, "there was a part of my face that the doctor didn't think was healthy. The doctor needed to remove that part of me so that the rest of my body wouldn't get sick." I just left it at that. :)
Normally I wouldn't have even really mentioned it to them, but I have 15 stitches on my nose from a biopsy and skin cancer removal, so naturally they had lots of questions why it looks the way it does. :) Needless to stay, I've stocked up on sunscreen. :)
Have a nice weekend!
