Tuesday, September 17

Finally got the email list made.

I hope I got everyone on the list.

Just a couple of notes:

We have started Project Lead The Way (PLTW). The classroom is in the 1st floor (basement). Since our time is scheduled for the last hour of the day Tuesday-Friday, we are packing the kids up and dismissing them from there. This could affect you pick up plans. You can arrange for the kids to meet you at our door. Mondays we have PLTW right before lunch.

The district has sent a letter to parents regarding a climate strike planned to take place Friday, September 20, three days before the UN Climate Summit in NYC.  Some classes are planning to step out on Friday to show unity with this grassroots movement. We are planning to join a couple of classes to walk the neighborhood together. We will start at 12, walking on the sidewalks in the neighborhood  and return by 12:40. We need permission slips for this, so watch for them. In addition, if your child does not want to participate or you do not want your child to participate, just let us know. We are planning an alternate activity for students who do not want to participate.

On a personal note, Today was my last treatment, but the side effects have increased so I have been out this week. The doctors warned me that side effects would not clear up quickly at first, but when they do it will be smooth sailing. That's my plan;)

Thanks for your patience and support!
