End of the School Year Activities

Ellie and Sagan's school year is nearly over.

Ellie will be completing the first grade and entering second. I have already submitted her forms for the next school year. You cannot actually "REQUEST" a teacher for the next year but you can put in certain characteristics your child has. They will place based on that.

For Ellie:

Shy and sensitive
Hard working and diligent
Detailed oriented and a perfectionist (Ellie goes through cap erasers like no ones business)

The teacher I am hoping for is Ms. Vierling. I know Pam very well and I know she will take great care of Ellie. In March Ellie had a small seizure event in class. Her teacher caught it and I am most appreciative. I want a teacher who knows me and will call Fred or I at the slightest suspicion of an event. We take them seriously and are afraid that she will go into distress.

The entire second grade team is wonderful. I wish Hyon was still teaching I know she would take Ellie into her class and take great care of her.

Sagan:

Sagan just finished another year at Good Samaratin Pre School. She had an amazing year. She was 2 years and 8 months but was allowed to enroll in the older 3 classroom. Next year she will be allowed into the 4 year old program. It's actually the VPK program but we will pay for one year. The next year will be Free. Sagan is a November birthday so she will be nearly 6 entering kindergarten in 2.5 years. She needs it!

Ms. Jacqui will be her 4 year old teacher for 2 years. I am a big proponet of looping with students for a 2 year duration. I did it a couple of times with kids at Bay Meadows. I taught 4th and kept them for 5th. Lots of learning. I knew them as they walked into the class in 5th grade and learning started immediately. Sagan will benefit from 2 years with the same teacher. I am very excited for her!
