<p>Short version: I've quoted below, a message that went out to
parents of Ms. Weirick's class in mid-September, to share some of
what another fellow Kindergarten class has been up to.<br>
</p>
<p>Longer version: Out of curiosity, I went to the Sagamore Hills
PTA Board meeting that happens monthly at 6:15p in the school
Media Center, <a href="http://sagamorehillspta.org/?page_id=24">mentioned
on their website</a>. Very friendly and busy group, and
interesting to witness some of the "behind the scenes" that makes
our school what it is. I also visited with Ms. Weirick parent,
Taylor Ackert. After hearing about our mailing list, she asked
for, and I created, a <a
href="http://list.9.0ne.org/list/listinfo/weirick.2012">mailing
list for Ms. Weirick's class</a> like ours (I've subscribed out
of curiosity, you can too). She later forwarded me a message that
went out to parents of Ms. Weirick's class in mid-September,
highlighting <a

class's use of Sagamore Hills PTA's BringIt sign up sheets</a>.<br>

<p>3- <span>Kid Writing Volunteers: </span>Around 9am every
day, the kids will be practicing their writing. A big help
to Ms. Weirick would be for an adult to come by around 9am
to help with this. The kids will have drawn a picture. The
adult then encourages the child to write a sentence that
explains the drawing. Of course, the adult may end up
writing some words or all of the sentence, but it's great
writing practice for the kids. </p>

<p>7- <span>Snacks: </span>Ms. Weirick for is fine with
anyone bringing in some easy snacks that can be stored, as
of now, in the far-right corner of the classroom --
pretzels, low-sugar cereals, goldfish, etc. This snack
arrangement may change down the road. But for now, if you
think about it, drop something off this week or next to
keep the snacks stocked. There are 25 hungry kids in the
class. Thanks! </p>

multiple sticky notes. Thanks for making wish list wishes
come true :) </p>
