Wanted to inform you all about two proposals that were passed during our Class Meeting on Friday:
#1). This Friday the 12th, we will be having another Wheel Day. We've had a few in the past and they've been quite successful. For Wheel Day, each student has the option to bring any (non-motorized) wheeled piece of transportation (bikes, scooters, skates, rollerblades, skateboards, etc.). We will take a roughly 20 minute break from our day to head to the park and get some exercise. Students who participate must bring a helmet and there will be no switching of gear. The kids understand that we ride on the park paths and never go on the sidewalk along Interstate Ave. Should be fun.
#2). The following Friday (the 19th) will be Pet Day. This will be our sharing for the week. It will occur around 8:45 and pets should not stay for the day. Exceptions can be made for well behaved small animals. I made an amendment to the proposal that each student must check in with me beforehand regarding which pet and how many they are bringing in. Beth's class did this last Friday and it was a hit. I would appreciate that parents stick around while the pet sharing is happening and then take their pets with them if possible. We seem to be OK with allergies, but any students who are not comfortable will be able to work on reading programs across the hallway in the computer lab.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these two passed proposals, please let me know. Thanks and I'm looking forward to a great week!
Best,
Whitney
