Thank you for your patience last week, as I was out of town due to my family emergency. My father had a heart attack and was in ICU for 6 days. Fortunately, he is doing better now, out of ICU and even moved to a rehab facility today. What a difference a week makes! I flew up in the middle of the night Saturday and stayed until the situation was no longer as severe, arriving home Friday night. I missed Halloween, the Braves winning the World Series (though I watched from New Hampshire), and mostly I missed my kids (at home and at school). It is definitely good to be home! I understand from the other 2nd grade teachers that my kiddos at school were doing great! I was so relieved to see that they had the same substitute every day. She would even have been there Friday, had school not been cancelled for the Braves win. It seems it was a bit of a crazy week, even without my absence, with having both Tuesday and Friday off. This week will be a normal week with 5 full days of school! And next week will also mark the middle of the 2nd quarter, meaning that progress reports will go home the following week. This week, we have another lesson in the library and another chance to take out books, so be sure to return any that you have read so you can check out new ones. We will also be doing another experiment in the science lab...and this one involves cookies! I missed our STEM experiment last week, and I'm looking forward to the kids telling me all about how it turned out. While I was gone most of the week, I know the temperature has been fluctuating, and continues to do so. Please be sure to dress your child for whatever weather is expected each day, even if that means in layers. A sweatshirt in the backpack is always a good backup plan!
