Hello Parents,

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all spend the day being surrounded by those you love. There are a few things in the news today:

  • Bowl-a-thon envelopes have been sent home with your students. Students are asked to bring their money in to the office on Thursdays.
  • If there is a parent who is available every Friday (or just some Fridays) to do an art lesson with the class, let me know! It would be greatly appreciated.
  • This week is Spirit Week at KCA. There was a sheet sent home last week that detailed what each day has in store.
  • Tomorrow, feel free to send snacks with your students tomorrow. We will have a party during the day to celebrate the holiday. If any parents would like to bring food in, let me know.
  • IMPORTANT: My phone number has changed. My number is NO LONGER 720.560.6399. It is now 925.699.6528.


As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

Newsletter 10/3/11


Dear Parents,

I am very excited about the field trip this Friday. It will be very fun and educational for the students. I do still need one or two more drivers depending on size of the car. We will depart for the field trip after chapel on Friday, about 10:30 am and will leave the airport at 1:30 pm. Please remember to pack your student a lunch on Friday, as we will eat lunch on the patio at Paradise Helicopters.
If you are able to drive, please let me know by phone or email, because I will need to have you fill out some paperwork in order to drive. Thank you for your help.
We are kicking off our International Day endeavors today. If you haven’t heard, our country this year is England. It should be a fun country for this year, because it has been in the news a lot with the Royal Wedding and the Olympics this coming summer. If you would like to assist in any aspect of International Day (recipes, crafts, dance, song, banner, costumes, etc.) let me know.
Once again, you may contact me any time by phone or email. My phone number is 720.560.6399. My email is tgoerzen@gmail.com.

Blessings.

It was great to see those of you who made it out to back-to-school night. If you didn’t make it and have any questions or comments for me, feel free to contact me be phone or email. Not much news this week:

The field trip has been pushed back and will hopefully be on October 6 or 7. I am waiting for a confirmation email. We will take a trip to the airport to see the helicopters at Paradise Helicopters. It should be a wonderful time for all the students.

Welcome!

The first two weeks of Fourth Grade have been wonderful. I am so excited for the rest of the year.

As you already know, any homework the fourth graders have will be listed on their homework sheet that you sign every night.

Fridays will be big test days, so help your student to study on Thursday nights especially.

Thanks so much for all your help.
