Welcome Ms. Smith!

We have hired a wonderful new teacher to finish the year in Room 204. Her name is Annie Smith, and she has been a teacher for four years in Illinois before moving to Denver to get married this summer. She has been subbing in Denver Public Schools since August, and has even substituted at Palmer a few times! The fourth graders got to know her when she took over for me when the fifth graders were at Balarat in December. I am very excited to leave the classroom in Ms. Smith's hands -- I know she will do a fantastic job. I only hope my students remember to miss me! Ms. Smith will be coming to our classroom a few times in February before her official start day of February 18th (my due date!) and you can also get the chance to meet her on February 5th, at Palmer's Open House Night.

Other exciting news: Don't forget to come to the Variety Show on January 29th! The students will perform twice, at 9:45 am and 6:00 pm. There are lots of great acts, everything from singing and dancing to magic and juggling. Come check out all of Palmer's talented students.

The 29th is also class picture day, and a chance for some special individual pictures as well. Bring in your money ($9 for a class pic) and dress your best!

Hey Monique!
I'll let the kids know that you advised me to be REAL strict whenever possible- sound like a plan? I'm kidding. Don't you worry your little head. These are great kids! (which tells me Ms. Laventure is a super-cool teacher, right?)
Stop by sometime!
Mrs. Smith
