I have had a productive planning day, despite trials and tribulations such as being locked out in the early morning, and having no power for several hours later in the morning.
You can let your student know that they will be at a new table and have a new spot on the carpet, beginning Monday.
Students will bring home report cards on Friday!
Have a wonderful and restful weekend!

Another Substitute today
Barbara Goldberg, yesterday's substitute (and former Room 2 kindergarten and first grade teacher), reports that we had a good day yesterday.
My fever seems to have broken, and I hope to be back on Friday. Barbara Goldberg had other obligations today and cannot be here. We will have Mr. Shnacky to guide us through our day today.
