We had a busy morning, but it was all a good busy. We had five first-time visiting families this week! And two families who were visiting, but not necessarily new to the church. With all that said we need new Visitor Information Cards. Acutally, we needed them for this past Sunday, but since I forgot to blog it the Reeds had to come up with an alternative. Sorry Connie & Ed!!!
Jess Miller was confused as to why she is no longer on the aide schedule for the 3rd Sunday. I didn't know how to respond so I said I would follow up and see if someone else knew why.
We are in need of a 5th grade teacher for August.
Is it possible to get a current teacher schedule for the file box?
Lastly, Jan & Becky Landis and Jen & Dan Herb will be switching classes this fall. Jan & Becky will drop down to 3rd grade and Jen & Dan will move up to 4th. Jan & Becky were looking to teach Keturah's class. Dan & Jen agreed to the switch.
That's it.

Sunday, July 8, 2012
It was a quiet Sunday. Just a few matters of business...
1) We need a revised copy of the new aide schedule in the file box. Was that something I was suppose to print out and bring with me?
2) Johana Schwenks name is on the attendance, but her name tag has not been printing. I guess Jocelyn will need to look into why she would be missing from the name tags?
3) The opposite of that is Nate Hageman's name tag prints, but he is still missing on the attendance?
4) We are out of napkins and Scott couldn't find any in the storage closet
5) We are out of Bible Memory sheets in the file box. I had to make photocopies for the Landis'
And that leaves me with the only "situation" we had, which I realized later was partially our fault, but felt I should have it logged. The Early Preschool teacher sent 4 kids out to the bathroom at one time, but didn't come out or send an aide out to help. She seemed pretty frazzled when I asked her about it, but it turned out she was the only teacher, only that was not communicated to us. I had sent her aide in and she thought she could manage by herself so she didn't say anything...that is until we had four little ones who needed to use the bathroom and not enough hands to make that happen. So I actually had Scott stand in the ladies bathroom at the edge of the door while I helped the little ones...but no one women were in there. So yes, Scott had to partially come into the ladies room, I couldn't come up with a better solution in the moment, and actually Blake helped some little guys that were in the bathroom. It was a great reminder for Scott and I that we need to check in the classrooms even if our aides show up and tell us they are here. I could have easily sent another aide to help her if I had known her other teacher hadn't shown up. This all happened pretty early on in the morning so it would have been before we collected attendance, which we may have realized then. Either way the whole thing was awkward.

Sunday July 1
Well, atleast we had one calm and peaceful Sunday!! This sunday was not!!
Thank you Jess, Micah and Olivia for your willingness to help me out. We asked numerous youth and no one wanted to miss the service this past sunday so we so appreciated your willingness to serve very last minute.
One of our aides listed never showed. We needed two aides in EP with only one teacher, unless that teacher situation changes, remember to place two aides in that class room. Jesus Arocho was teaching in 2nd grade alone, so we scrambled to find him an aide. Also Bob Seashultz and Kevin B. were teaching Late preschool together so I needed to find a female aid for that classroom. I believe Kevin may help out for the month so be aware of the aide situation for LP. Also, not sure if this is done or not but can we have the aides for Sean D. and Myka K stop at our table and tell us they are here, just like we are asking all the other aides to do. The last two weeks we were running around trying to find them sometimes they are back with their assigned person and sometimes we need to go get them. It would help tremendously if they would check in with us as well as the other other aides.
When I read over this it doesn't sound like all that big a deal, but when this all happens at the same time I can get sooo stressed, realizing people are often trying to sign in children or ask questions before class etc. and we're trying to locate aides. Thankfully every week isn't like this!!
Please note the Alburgers are teaching for the Reinfords this sunday July 8th in the K class.
There was great confusion yet again, with the Bible Memory for the 3rd grade class. I will talk to you in person Krin and try and figure it all out. Not sure what is happening, but there is huge disconnect between teachers and between the e-mails they are being sent regarding the Bible memory. We could probably use more Bible Memory sheets for in our file. WE went to the HUB and took some as teachers are still asking for them, Again, I'm not sure what the kids are doing with them but it seems like every time we get new teachers they are asking for more sheets to hand out.
Nate Hageman should be in 2nd grade on the attendance sheets #235. His name is on the 3rd grade sheet. The parents may have had him in that class before with a sibling. FYI I noted the change on both sheets. Also, Micah hageman is in EP but will not go to class with out his brother Jude, so the parents have them both going to LP until Sept. when Jude will move to K.
We gave the last of the Clorox wipes to the Nursery aides, that will need to be restocked.
Also, just note, we had quite a few relatives attending classes with cousins, so we just marked them down under the family number from our church.
I think that's it.
Happy 4th of July!!!
