COME BACK!!!!!!

Okay, well, the bug has officially hit. By 2 o'clock today there were five of us in the classroom, and three of us were adults!

Warning: There is a bug going around. Sore RED throat, swollen lymph nodes (according to Nurse Parker), high fevers, and more. Please please PLEASE keep your child home if they are sick. Not that I don't love them, but really, they are miserable at school when they aren't well. There really isn't anything that I hate more than seeing sick kids.

Hendrick had a great day until he went home ill. He worked hard in inclusion despite his cough, loved going to computer lab and learning about his letters on the keyboard, and played outside like a champ. We were sorry that he felt so miserable though by the time we came back in and quickly went down hill from there. Good thing mom came to the rescue!

Luis had a STELLAR day. He finished his work, made a beaver, helped Mrs. Robertson make a Halloween Picture Frame, worked on his letters, building his house in Speech and practicing his cutting skills and more! He listened, worked well, and is showing signs of being in love for the first time!

Darius worked hard with Mrs. Robertson in the early morning while Ms. Stern was at the doctor. (Ms. Stern is fine, she was having blood taken for her annual, albiet late, physical....she promises, she won't come to school with a fever either!) He wanted to take care of Ms. Stern when she came back and saw her bandage. He worked well in computer lab and had a great time climbing with everyone during recess. He did a great job constructing his house in speech and decorating his person to go inside.

Aldair spent his first official day in full-time inclusion and told me that he learned about the letter S. Unfortunately blog readers, you'll be reading less and less about Aldair as he works his way well into Ms. Spencer's room. He still does get to see us for about 10 minutes every afternoon along with our friend Tiffany who spends her entire day in Ms. Kessler's room.

The pumpkin patch is less than a week away! Be sure to get well in time for it!!! It'll be a GRAND time!

Tonight, our own Mrs. Robertson was honored by the MCPS School Board for being the first quarter winner of the PEAR award. We are truly honored to have her on our team and what she does for the boys in our room, along with the children of Weems on a daily basis is truly amazing and priceless. If ever you swing by Weems at recess, you really may see her swinging right alongside one of the boys on the swing saying "straight, bend, straight, bend". It's a great time! Congratulations Mrs. Robertson!!!!
