Thank you so MUCH for everything you did and said to make Teacher Appreciation week so very special!  The flowers were beautiful, the cards were GREAT, the food absolutely delicious, the gift card & gift, and the extra help were all amazing!  The parents and kids at Jack Anderson are the GREATEST!  Thank you again for your kindness and generosity.  I appreciate everything so very much!

Note from the teacher:

Hello and welcome to our class and webpage.  The page is a work in progress.  Please check the page often. 

Please remember to send a jacket or coat with your child each day as we will go out for Recess unless it is raining.  The weather has turned much cooler and we want the children to dress accordingly.  Please do not forget to put their names

on tags.  Kindergarteners often misplace things!

                                             ******IMPORTANT******

Parents, please, if you can, send in baby wipes and/or Clorax wipes.  Because we do not have a sink

in the room, we go through LOTS of wipes every day.  The kids are great about wiping their hands before computer, listening center, etc.  We are down to our last boxes of wipes and need to replenish our stock.  Thank you so much for all you do.  I really do appreciate it!
