Hi All -
Yes, I am two weeks behind - sorry. = ( Anyhow, just a note or two from our week.
Silvers would like Jayne added to permanent tags and roster. Her birthdate is 8/24/11.
Also, is it possible to move some nursery aides from Week 3 to weeks one and two? We have 7 in there every 3rd Sunday, and only 3 or 4 aides in there during Weeks 1 & 2. Just a thought. Sometimes I know those girls get a little bored when there aren't enough babies to go around. = )
That's all for now! Thanks.
Steve and Krin

June 24th
Josh and Brianna Kemmerer would like to put Everly in the nursery starting in July. Her birth date is 11/1/11.
The black ink cartridge for the copier ran out on Sunday while we were copying papers. Will need a new one for Sunday.
We could use more small drinking cups for the younger classes and also Tissue Box in our supplies.
MAJOR miss communication for the 1st and 2nd grade class. Apparently the set up team was planning for 1st and 2nd to be combined as only one door was opened and both grade signs were together on another door. This lead us to believe they were still combined. Coulsons were filling in for 2nd grade and we told her the classes must be combined yet this month, unfortunately we really werent' sure, the schedule has it marked combined for the month the Thompsons were teaching and I guess we were unsure if that was for the whole summer??? Anyway, the Smalls ended up showing up to teach the 1st grade class. They both just taught together. I felt bad, we were confused, they seemed confused. I think the set up team is confused. With the subbing taking place it is hard to be on top of things as often the subs aren't sure of what is expected of them and we feel inadequate how to answer some of their questions.
Enjoy the rest of your week.

Coordinators update Sunday May 27th
Rudloff's need new ID cards, #189. Carol said they could use multiple copies. They keep losing them.
Regarding aides: Connie, is maddy still wanting to be on the list? She was on this past sunday but we were able to use the floater and all worked out fine. Also, just repeating what Ed had shared at our meeting regarding aides reporting to us at the table before they head back. We were searching for our two aides for MK and SD and after a while, realized they were already back in the room. So that would be so helpful to just have the aides stop by the table.
Krin, not sure if Salome Schwenks mom found you after church on Sunday. Salome was so distraught that she forgot to say her Bible memory to the teacher and I think they were looking for you in the HUB when we left. Just so you know this little girl and her mom have made valient efforts to make sure someone knows she said her verses so she can get her prize.
Somehow we need to get everyone on the same page with this Bible Memory. We have children saying verses and it's not getting recorded, parents telling Krin their child should of gotten a prize and they didn't, some getting prizes and the parent tells us their child didn't know the memory verse. This would be a great area for that CM opportunity we were discussing regarding asking Sherri Hughes about possibly undertaking. Was she ever asked about filling this much needed role?
One other item: Ed and Connie, not sure if your on this Sunday as we've switched around a lot, but whoever is on, please note there is a cardboard box which I labeled preschool toys stored in with the other bins. Zach clemmer said he would put it away with the other bins from the classes. Just wanted to make sure someone got it and placed the toys (mostly trucks) in the Late Preschool class or Early preschool class bins. Which ever one you think could use them. Someone dropped the box off after class this past sunday. It's got a bunch of great trucks that the little boys will love. I just don't want it getting overlooked.
Enjoy the rest of your week.

Details from 5/6/12
Dan & Lori Hageman would like to get a permanent ID card. There kids are as follows:
Rileigh 7/11/01, Nathan 6/12/03, Caleb 3/25/05, Jude 5/23/07, Micah 3/19/09
The Knaubs need a new ID card thanks to a little mishap with the washing machine.
On the attendance sheets Noah Derstine needs to be moved from Early Preschool to Late Preschool.
Just want to note that with 1st & 2nd grade combined there were a total of 18 kids. Wendy was fine and didn't even want the aide we offered to her. Just thought it would be good to keep an eye on that class.
Not sure if you want to remove JJ & Susie Alleman from the attendance and name tags since they are now in Hungary.
It was a quiet morning overall. Thanks.

Coordinators report for 4/29
Pretzels are needed for the Early and Late Preschool stock. Low in both classrooms.
Still having issues with needing another lower table for the preschool rooms. I think both low tables were in the late preschool and early had no tables set up. I think we are frustrating the set up guys. One week they are told one thing and then it get's changed till the next week. I guess it would just be the best to obtain another lower table as both classes use them and Late Pre is a fairly large class needing two.
Nursery was an issue again. Only one aide showed up and she had tons of crying babies with parents staying in until we could round up helpers. We did get 3 young girls but again, we should of tried to find another adult as there are so many crying babies it seems and the younger girls just aren't sure how to best help out in that situation. We were desperate and just grabbed who was closest at the time.
Have a great week.

Sunday, April 22nd
Sunday was an unusually crazy day. Only 2 of our 5 nursery workers showed up, and those 2 were teenagers, and we had a large amount of crying babies. I was trying to grab people to help, but was a little more difficult with the youth being in the VOM assembly. (Thank you Teresa for jumping in there!) Also, two of our classroom aides needed to be looked for, which just made drop-off time very chaotic.
Also, not having a specific gameplan for the after-service meeting was not good. Teachers, parents, helpers, etc. were asking us questions, there was much confusion, and we really did not have any answers to give them because there was no set plan (it kept changing up until the end.) I just felt badly, because in the parents eyes, I really felt like it looked like we didn't know what we were doing. If we could come up with a very specific gameplan ahead of time next time, that would be great.
Joce, thank you for putting a note in the announcements about the nursery toys. I will grab the bins on Sunday, and go through them, and re-stock the nursery.
Brenna Seeley (1/24/11) needs nametags. I believe she is on the roster, but there has not been nametags for her.
The Knaubs are in need of new ID cards.
And Blake, I'm not sure what to say about the table situation for the preschool classes. I know that you and Steve had talked on Sunday about moving the low table from Early Pre into Late Pre so that Late Pre could have two low ones, but I do feel like Early Pre might miss theirs, because I know that they do use if for coloring and for play. So, if we are unable to buy another low one, I think keeping a low one in Early, and just using one low and one high in Late, might be best.
That's all for now!

Hi Guys -
Very easy and laid back day. I'm not sure who is on for the last Sunday of the month, but just wanted to let you know that the 6th grade class will be meeting on the fifth Sunday because of Easter.
Blake, the purple CD player from the nursery was missing this week. Steve went to the closet to see if he could spot it, but did not see it. Is it possible to check with the set-up guys to see if they have seen it? The nursery does use it quite often. We borrowed early preschool's for them to use this past week.
Jocelyn, would it be a big pain for you to send out an e-mail to the mothers of younger kids to see if they would have any nursery-aged toys that they would be willing to donate? I was thinking to maybe send it out to moms of nursery-late preschool classes? The nursery toy selection is really poor and boring (Denise Randolph said this past week, that there are toys in those boxes that were there when Morgan was a baby. Yikes.) Anyhow, my thought was that I will put a labeled box in the foyer this Sunday for the moms to put their donations in. I guess just ask for fun and interesting gently used toys.
I think that's all for now!
