Oh my goodness- I can't believe we are down to our last 2 weeks of the quarter! This year is already flying by!
This past week has been a busy in my house. Last Sunday we put in an offer on a new home, and on Monday our offer was accepted! This week has been full of cleaning and de-cluttering as we prepared for an open house this Sunday. It is very exciting and exhausting- all at the same time.
This weekend has been full of cleaning, packing, and organizing, but we've managed to squeeze some fun in too. Saturday I got to watch the new Downton Abbey and go to high tea at the Phoenician with some friends. We had a wonderful time and felt very British. :) Saturday night my husband and daughter attended the Daddy Daughter Dance! They had such a fun time, and I got to enjoy some rare one-on-one time with my son!
I had to be out of the classroom Thursday morning for about 2 hours. I was very proud to get a good report from Mrs. Baugh of the students behavior. It can be hard to make good choices when the lead teacher is out of the room, and I am proud of the class for showing good citizenship, respect, and integrity.
What's happening in 4A:
- Archway Classical Academy Arete is proud to announce our fourth annual Grandparents Day event. (Click here for more information.) Please RSVP here by September 13th. If you would like to submit a photo for our Grandparents Day slideshow, email a picture of you and your grandchild/ren to Jessica Vaughan, Academy Giving Manager. We look forward to having you join us for this year's celebration!
- We are fully stocked up with tissues (for the time being!), but we are nearly out of hand sanitizer. If you are able to send some in for our class we would greatly appreciate it!
- I hope the Europe Project has started well for each family and you are having fun with it! In the next week I will post a detailed description of what is expected. As always, don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
