Rumor has it.....

Sooooooo, did you catch Bloomberg's conference? Yeah....no school tomorrow or Friday. I mean, I'm a big fan of snow days and all, but this is pushing it!!!
 Again, I hope you are all safe and if you don't have power, you are more than welcome to come to my place to chill. I'll see you all Monday!!!!

WHOA!

That was crazy!! I hope all of you guys are ok and were prepared as much as one can be in a hurricane! I've dealt with a lot of storms growing up in WV ( the hamlet I was raised in was right by the Potomac and the Mountains) but now that I live in the city the damage is unimaginable.
 As you know, the subways,buses,Amtrak, and schools are closed tomorrow too..... yikes!! The clean up may take a while, but if we all help out and stick together(like New Yorkers always do) then we can pull through this!!!!
 Feel free to call or email with any questions, I know that I'm going to stay home until it's a little safer outside with my blanket and keep the weather channel website on for the rest of the day. Hopefully we'll be able to go back to school tomorrow....but who knows!
 I know my family back home got hit pretty hard and I wish more than anything to not be stuck here in Queens, but to be in WV with the people I love to make sure they're safe. I hope all of you are doing the same. Stay safe and we'll see you soon!

Rain or not to rain?

 It's a little sprinkly today, but not too bad. We'll stick to the schedule, but be sure to check the message board by the security desk for any rainy day changes in case our guys can't play outside.

Thank Gophers It's Friday!

I love Fridays when the sun is out!Be sure to check the schedule for any extra changes, but everything should be groovy!
 I do know that the Kindergarten will have snack in the basement.

Sun!

 The sun is out, great! That means more fun and hopefully if everyone gets their homework done, more outside time! Please be sure to check the message board by the security desk and the door leading to the basement in case the kids want to enjoy the nice weather a little longer.
 Today is another ballet class with Alvin Ailey. Last week was really fun and I can't wait for this one. The class begins at 3:30pm ( we pick up at 3 and change for ballet) and ends at 4:30. If you'd like to come watch the class please let Valerie or I know first. It's hard for our teacher to run a successful class when our dancers can't focus! We want you to come and see what we're up to, but please let us know first.

Sprinkles, but not rain and science class

A little sprinkle is just what this humid weather needs. We'll still be outside, but no groups will go to the playground, they'll stick to the alley space.
 The other change is that Prek will have Yoga first today in rm318 and 1st grade will have yoga at 3:30.
 Hey! Eric our art teacher needs clear plastic bottles for tomorrow's science class!! Please send your child with a clear plastic bottle tomorrow!!
 This Thursday is a PTA meeting and Empire is happy to help out by providing some peeps we know who are awesome at babysitting to chill with your kids while the meeting is going on!

Another beautiful day!

No! I'm serious! I love the rain! If it gets bad out, and it probably will, there will be a rainy day schedule posted around the building, or just call ahead if you need to figure out where everyone is!
call me or Valerie!
