Dear Parents/Grandparents,
I hope everyone had a safe, HEALTHY, and enjoyable Rodeo Break!What a busy week we have in store! Please remind your child to check with me for make up work if he/she was absent recently. I have many students with missing work, but it is their responsibility to come as to take a test or find out what assignments were missed. We are having a huge problem with recurrent absences, and this makes it really hard to catch up if students don’t keep up with the work while they are at home. As a reminder, all homework is posted online each night, and if a student will be gone more than a couple of days, it is crucial to get the homework from a friend, or come pick it up from school. Just send me an email in the morning and I can have it ready by the end of the day. Also, it is important to note that most of the lessons we are covering from here on out are new topics, include “interactive” lessons, and are very hard to re-create at home. PLEASE NOTE: I’m trying something new, and I’ve attached a new “cover sheet” to the bottom of this page. I appreciate any feedback, as it seems many people have not been reading the newsletter’s online version. Thank you!
Thank you to all the wonderful chaperones who came along on the Tubac field trip, and to those who donated delicious treats for the journey back in time.. It was an amazing day, and one I hope the students will remember for years to come. PLEASE NOTE: If anyone took photos on the trip, it would be a HUGE HELP if you could please save them to a disc or flash drive so I can put together a special presentation for the students at the end of the year. We will also use the photos for a project. THANKS AGAIN! Finally, I want to send out another extra special thank you to Aidan’s grandmother, who made authentic bonnets for the girls to wear! Everyone looked like we truly had traveled in a time machine, and the costumes really added to the “living history” experience. By the way, if you are interested in learning more about the experience, Tubac and Tumacacori makes a great day trip during spring break!
PHONE TROUBLE: My classroom phone is broken. Please contact me via email, OR call the office at 696-6020 and leave a message with the office staff as I am unable to access my voicemail or call out from my class phone. I will do my best to get back with you as soon as possible, and I apologize for any inconvenience. I was unaware it was broken until last week when I began to wonder why I hadn’t gotten any calls!
Have a great week!!!
Mrs. Keene
