Reading Restaurant

Dear Families,

The students are so excited to invite you all to our Reading Restaurant on Thursday this week.  We have two sessions and your child and family were assigned a specific time-slot.  

Please arrive 5 minutes early.  That way, your child can settle in, see his/her friends and get everything ready.  Please wait outside in our kiva.  The host/hostess will seat you and your family.

It is going to be crowded on Harmony.  Please do not be shy, but walk all the way down to our classroom and wait outside the door to be seated.  Thank you:)

Most kids dress up for this event.  Most kids do not wear regular school clothes/athletic attire.  I wanted you to know so your child will feel comfortable during our time here.  

Please also keep in mind that some kids feel very nervous about this event.  This is a big event and they are, after all, only first and second graders.  We have discussed the different feelings we can feel before an event like this, and some of the emotions shared were feeling scared that a lot of people will be here, nervousness about making a mistake, such as giving out the wrong story, or not knowing a parent's name, etc.  Please check in with your child at home.  I did my best explaining that we're all in this as a team, we're helping each other and we're here to celebrate our amazing learning together!  I also told the kids that you are going to be the best guests anyone could have because you will help them too, if they need it.

Thanks for helping us make this a success for all!!
