The School Buzz

We are eagerly anticipating Rachel's first day of PK4!

Today we went to visit her class. Each child got to go into the classroom for 15 minutes to meet the teachers and check out the room. Ms. Nancy and Ms. Joann are so warm and friendly - I am sure we're going to love them!

They gave both Rachel and I a goody bag. Rachel's bag contained the following note and the items in bold.

The items in this bag will help me tell you about your new class.
The feather is to tell you how tickled I am to have you in my class.
The stickers are to remind you that we are a school family and we will all stick together and help each other.
The cotton ball is to remind you that our class is full of kind words and warm feelings.
We will have lots of fun together and learn new things every day.
Keep these things in mind when you come to school and we all will have a great year.
Love,
Ms. Nancy
