 * SK Grade Level Meeting Minutes **
 * September 20, 2011 **

Everyone liked Laura Fuller’s short intro. We also liked meeting in the Library even though we received complaints that parent’s in the back couldn’t hear. We will address that next year. Jeffers had 15 out of 19 parents show up, Pierson had 14 out of 18, and McMinn had 12 out of 12. It was suggested that we meet we new families before BTSN and emphasize how important it is to attend.
 * BTSN ** :

Please make sure field trips are entered in TWILLS. Bonnie will add the parties and SK Feast this weekend.
 * Field Trip ** :

Phone calls are going well and it seems we will all be finished by next week. Some new parents are preferring phone calls over classroom visits. We said that was fine as long as there was some form of communication.
 * Phone Calls ** :

Tricia Kauffman would like to take each class next week during rest time and have us come into Camp’s old room to complete glass tile mirrors for the Holiday Shop Raffle. Bonnie will send Tricia our scheduled dates as follows: Monday – Pierson/Karrels, Tuesday – McMinn, Wednesday – Jeffers/Hardwick. Both Jeffers and Pierson will go in two shifts. They should have 3 to 4 parent helpers for the two big classrooms and 2 to 3 helpers for McMinn’s class.
 * Holiday Shop Raffle ** :

Bonnie shared Tim’s email about making the Butterfly Garden a capital request. Bonnie will email both Tim and Carolyn to see how to proceed. If a capital request has to be submitted, it is due in October.
 * Butterfly Garden ** :

The lunch table assignments have been turned into Sherry. We will complete Jan. –June in November.
 * Lunch Tables ** :

Bonnie will email Bev to make sure she has mouse practice games set and ready to go on Oct. 3rd. Last year was kind of a fiasco because there was nothing ready.
 * ERB’s ** :

We agreed that we would put our SK Tree Study in our Science Journals instead of doing something elaborate on cardboard and displaying them. Each class can include a photo of the tree chosen by each class. We will save the other pictures taken and add it to a new scrapbook page. Judy is including science vocabulary in her journal entries. She also shared an idea of adding a butterfly calendar. Judy also has an Ant Labeling picture that is perfect to add to our assessment. She will give everyone a copy. Thanks Judy!
