Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!  I really enjoyed getting to meet with each one of you over the last several days–thanks for sharing your kids with me!!

Miss Mickelson

Here is the conference schedule just in case!  Can’t wait to meet with each of you!

Fall 2009 Conference Schedule

The first graders have earned all of their jewels after much hard work!  YAY!

This Friday, in celebration of their accomplishment, we will be having Pajama Day.  The kiddos can wear their pajamas at school ALL day, and can also bring their favorite stuffed animal to snuggle them.  I will send a reminder home tomorrow! 

Tomorrow is the big day!  We will be going to Meydenbauer Theater to watch “Good Night Moon” and “Runaway Bunny”.

Please remember to pack your child a lunch and have them wear comfortable shoes for walking-thanks and be looking for pictures of our adventure soon!

PAT is the Program for the Academically Talented.  I was asked to pass this information along…if you have questions you can email me or call the two contacts below (they will have MUCH more info).  Here is the link to our district website PAT page: http://riverview.wednet.edu/schools/school_pat.htm  Thanks!
