I hope this finds everyone well. I have been struggling with the right words to express what Isabella’s three years with you and your teachers have meant to us, especially to her. Last night gave me the right words. Around 9:15, she came downstairs to find us watching 100,000 Pyramid. I decided to let her stay to watch a few minutes before bringing her back up. I explained the game to her and decided to try to play with her. In true 4-year-old fashion, she wanted to go first. This is how the conversation went.
Isabella: I want to go first. Soap, a tree, a dinosaur Mommy: Things in Isabella’s head
(we laugh) Mommy: Now it’s my turn. A circle, a square, a triangle, a rectangle…Things that are ______ ( I was expecting her to say shape) Isabella: Symmetrical
My husband and I were floored by her response. This is a true testament to what all of your teachers have done for her. Isabella is truly prepared for her next chapter. If she could take Mrs. Cichetti in her pocket to Kindergarten, she would. Thank you again for all that you have done for our girl. You got one more coming!
I just wanted to express our sincere appreciation of what you and your staff did for the graduation celebration. It was absolutely perfect. Gino truly enjoyed his three years at Tom Thumb and will miss all of his teachers and friends. You’ve made beautiful memories that will last a lifetime for him.
I hope you all have a relaxing safe and happy summer and we will see you in the fall when little brother starts ThumBelina!
You were out playing in the dirt at recess
You look at your hands and say “What a big mess.” Your hands are dirty and full of germs
You were even touching some beetles and some worms
[CHORUS] You better wash your hands You better wash your hands You better wash your hands And use plenty of soap I said wash those hands I said wash those hands Wash those hands And use plenty of soap
Smog produced by a million cars lands on the swings and the monkey bars
Germs all over the playground stuff
Your immune system says, “I’ve had enough”[CHORUS] You better wash your hands You better wash your hands You better wash your hands And use plenty of soap I said wash those hands I said wash those hands Wash those hands And use plenty of soap>[Music Break]You can avoid the flu
You can take care of you
This ain’t nothing new
It’s something that you gotta do
You don’t want E coli
I ain’t telling no lie
Keep hands sterilized and live a better life
Staph bacteria
In your cafeteria
As bad as Diphtheria
You should take it serious
And Doorknobs are bad
They’re a germ launch pad
Just wash your hands
And you’ll always be glad
Just wash your hands
And you’ll always be glad
[CHORUS] You better wash your hands You better wash your hands You better wash your hands And use plenty of soap I said wash those hands I said wash those hands Wash those hands And use plenty of soap
I received an email on April 3 from a Tom Thumb parent with a wonderful attached video. Although I know the family dearly and love the kids, I am keeping their identity confidential. Anyone viewing the video will cherish it. Many thanks to the M Family for sharing their home video with an important message about Brushing Your Teeth!
The email in response to Home Activity #3 “Brush Your Teeth”.
Good morning Tom Thumb (& especially Mrs. Gallagher and Mrs. Carozza),
I wanted to touch base and let you know how much the kids miss and love you all at Tom Thumb. We are so grateful for you all and hope you’re all doing well. We are keeping up with our daily activities, and I thought you’d like to see E…and D… (and their little sister, M…) singing the Brush your Teeth Song.
