After our divisive election, I want to be clear that the mission of public schools, and my personal mission, is to serve ALL students and families. Your child should always feel welcome and safe in the classroom.
It was wonderful to see so many of you last week for conferences. It was great to get the opportunity to sit down and learn more about your child. I really appreciate the many insightful thoughts and the spirit of teamwork that were part of every single meeting this year!
As most of you know, pile driving began last week. The noise inside, thus far, seems very manageable. We are working hard to be sure that your child gets time to run around, and to be sure that they receive minimal exposure to the outside noise of pile driving. For the most part we will be having recess at Pearl Court, however on certain days, we may be substituting a courtyard recess when it is quiet out (So far, the pile driver is off much more than on) or, as a last resort, doing an indoor recess. We may even, as we did today when the pile driver was undergoing maintenance, venture to The Fields.
This week is our only full week of school in November and we are making the most of it, in terms of our core curriculum. We are doing lots of reading, writing and math this week.
Many thanks to Charlie's family for the huge tub of trains. This has made for some happy choice times.
Don't Forget: There is no school next Wednesday, Thursday, Friday due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.
