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.

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!!!

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

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.
