Last week we met our long term sub, Mrs. Holly Lemm. She spent the day with us on Wednesday and is very excited to be working in our class while I am out on maternity leave. We are planning for her to begin in our classroom on October 30th...unless baby girl decides to come earlier :) She will share more information about herself as she begins her time in our classroom. Her email will be lemmh@kaukaunasd.org. I look forward to meeting with you this week at conferences to share how much your child has grown already and set goals to continue to work on.
