I would like to thank all of my students and their families for the wonderful gifts this past holiday season! I ate all of my yummy cookies and scrumptious chocolates! I took time to pamper myself with all of the great smelling lotions and bath goodies! My tree at home is decorated with my beautiful ornaments and I took time for a spa day! I was also able to do some shopping with my super awesome gift certificates. Thank you again so much. I am nice and relaxed, but I miss all of you sooooo much! I can't wait for school to start! I hope everyone had a relaxing break and are just as excited about school as I am! Don't forget, we are going to begin cooking in the kitchen with Ms. V and the kids this month so get ready!
See you soon
Love Ms. V

Welcome to Ms. V"s Blog!

Dear Family and Friends,
Welcome to my new friend....my blog. I will check and update this page daily. I will now be posting important messages and information about our classroom. Please post ideas, messages, and other important information that will be helpful to me as well. This will be a quick and easy way to communicate. The success of our children is due in part to the communication and strong link between home and school.

P.S. Please do not post any personal questions about your children or other children. This is a public site. I can be reached by phone or e-mail for questions concerning your individual child.

Important Reminders

Please check your child’s mail folder daily. I send home many notes and stoplight forms daily.

I do need each child’s stoplight form on Monday morning from the previous week. These will be in your child’s portfolio in order show progress throughout the year.

If you have not had a chance to yet, please send along a 3 ring binder so that I may organize a portfolio for each student.

The art teachers have asked that I remind each child to bring an art smock to art class each Tuesday. If your child does not have one yet, please send an old shirt along that can remain in their locker and used for art.

Also, send along clean gym shoes that can remain in your child’s locker and used only for P.E. class.

Continue to work on and send back the September Checklist that came home with the last newsletter.

Please continue to work on the weekly spelling words. The children will take a practice “test” on Wednesdays and then a Final “test” on Fridays. I will be keeping the Friday “tests” for portfolios.

It is very hot and humid in our classroom. I encourage children to take as many drinks from our water fountains as possible, we have two in the room. Please make sure your children drink plenty of water before and after school. I would just like to prevent any possibilities of dehydration.

A quick reminder, please leave all toys, stuffed animals and Webkinz or anything else of value or importance at home. The lockers do not have locks and the children tend to leave their locker doors open.
