Yes...I am. Expecting a baby, that is! I'm sure you've noticed my growing midsection and have been asking yourselves the same question as my blog post title. Your children are not making up stories as I did tell them a few weeks ago after a healthy ultrasound. ;) My husband and I are very excited to be expecting our first child due at the end of March. Just like I am preparing myself and my home for a change, I am preparing your children to be successful for when I am out on maternity leave late in the school year. I'll communicate more details about my leave closer to March. Stay posted!
Woodland is hosting our annual Bingo and Silent Auction Night. Every year classrooms put together baskets to auction off to raise money for the PTO. The money raised goes to support our children and their education at Woodland. The PTO supports technology, music, reading, recess supervision, math, and many other programs at WD! Our classroom has chosen a theme for our basket and we are very excited to work together to have fun and raise funds for Woodland. We are asking each child to bring a new item that reflects our chosen theme or donate money to purchase items. Donations will be collected in our classroom from Monday, November 4th through Thursday, November 21st. Please send your item and if possible one dollar to help purchase a basket or container for our theme. If the container is donated, we will use the money to purchase ‘final touches’ for the basket. Please notify us if you are able to donate this container.
The theme for Mrs. Housman’s class is: “Art Fun!” Some ideas for our basket: pencils, paints, clay, stickers, coloring books, notebooks, folders, markers, tracers, colored pencils, activity books, crayons, pens, etc. If you are able to donate any additional items for the auction or for Bingo prizes, it would be greatly appreciated. All items must be new. You could donate tickets for sports or theaters, gift certificates for movie theaters, stores, or entertainment venues, craft items, or any other items. These donations can become part of a larger basket, added to another class or a basket of their own or used as a Bingo prize. Feel free to create your own basket for the auction! Perhaps your employer would donate a basket? Thank you for your participation and your support! Questions? Contact Becky Park Email: [email protected] or call 763-458-7538 Conferences begin this week! Please let me know if you are unable to come at your assigned time. We can try to reschedule in an open time slot. I look forward to sharing your child's progress in first grade and have lots of goodies for you to take home!! You are welcome to bring your child to participate in their conference. See you soon!
Thanks, Liz |
