Sunday May 16th

A pretty quiet morning. Just a couple of notes:

• The Zimpher's would like permanent cards and nametags for Caiden (birthdate 7/17/09)
• We could use more encouragement cards - I gave the last of them out to one of the teachers this past week.
• I did not see Nic Prosseda to get Ava's birthdate. Maybe whoever is on the next two weeks, could try to get that.
• Hannah Thompson let us know that she will not be in church on May 30th, so whoever is coordinating that day, will need to slip an extra aide into that class to help Gloria. Thank You!
• Lastly, Jane Miller had a great idea, that maybe we could have Jocelyn put a reminder in the Grace e-announcements, reminding parents to PLEASE let coordinators know if you have taken your child's sticker, but are choosing to keep them in the service.

That's all for now!

OK, so I have never used a blog before and it has taken me some time to figure this out. I hope it's right! Mother's Day was a fairly quiet morning, which for us was a huge answer to prayer being our first Sunday on our own :-) All the aides showed up, however, Gabrielle Suarez needed to help Laura teach (Immanuel was not there), so I didn't have an aide to send for Kindergarten, but the Zimpfer's were fine. Also on the aide sheet I would suggest you change Matt/Monica Colflesh to Matt OR Monica, because only one of them helps and they just decide who it will be that morning. I thought I would have both of them, so it got confusing.

I had a message from Deb that she and Wendy are switching with Bruce and Nan, May 30th for June 13th...I think Ed & Connie, you are on 6/13. Jocelyn, I didn't know if that is something you also like to know too.

A BIG thanks to all of you for showing us the ropes and welcoming us to the team. We are excited!

Hello Coordinators,

It was a very quiet morning today. The only report I have is that we are in need of more dry erase markers and erasers.

Blake, I talked to you about an inventory idea...can I go ahead with that idea or do you want me to wait until after we have a coordinator meeting? And, as far as the meeting, for us personally, May would be a better time.

That's it...short and sweet,

Connie

Coordinators report from April 11

A busier morning with crying little ones but not too chaotic.

Jocelyn, Imira Gorski is late preschool, family ID #113, info for permanent name tag.

Regarding aides: Please remove Eden Suarez from the list. She did not show and her sister said to remove her. Becky Jones did not show, we might want to check with her as we often have to track her down. We did not go look for her as we were okay with aides. Just a note for aides, we only had one show up along with the crowd of children, we were atleast 5 min. into class time till the other's came. Possibly send a reminder to try and arrive promptly. I was scrambling there thinking no one else was coming.

The Matthews taught 1/2nd grade and expressed concern that this class needs to be split up. They felt it is too large to properly teach this many children and too keep control. In hindsight we should of put a helper in with them but the teaching list shows Liz is on with them but she was not in with them this past week. Possibly check with them if she is in fact going to help. Definately this coming week give them an aide. They had 23 in the class. They both seemed frustrated.

There was a broken yard stick in Kindergarten class. We left a note to the teacher and taped it, till we can replace with a new one.

The last two weeks we had situations where the ID number could not be put on the screen due to technical glitch or a song was up etc. The Millers and Galen and I thought it would be good to have a master list of family ID numbers and names to keep at the sound booth. We gave galen a number and he ran it up but wasn't sure who it was and they couldn't get it on the screen. Usher's would be able to help locate people if we can't get the number to come up. Just a good back up, especially with many new families.

We had two incident's where children got slightly hurt. Jane had suggested having an accident report kept in the file box just to cover the church. Something to think about.

Welcome Jane and Scott.

That's it for this week.

Coordinators update from April 4

A very busy, little chaotic at times, morning, but hopefully we appeared in control :)

Urgent need for more yellow visitor cards. We ran out with the second visiting family and tried to make up our own for the rest of the families.

We could use more of the letters to tape to the CD's that we hand out.

Al and Celeste Gorski would like a sticker made for Imira Gorski #113, she is their grand daughter.

Regarding aides, we had two not show up and Melissa Reinford immediately went into the nursery to take care of the little ones. That seems to be what she prefers, so maybe we should move her to the nursery aide list instead of the classroom list. Not sure what her understanding was as far as being an aide, but I think she wants to be in the nursery.

Enjoy the day,
Teresa

Sunday, March 21

Not too much to report - an uneventful (but good) Sunday.

• Could we please have Callie Herr (#125) and Ava Prosseda (#583) added to the nursery roster and stickers?
• Benners need new ID cards (#226)
• Nic Prosseda needs a new permanent ID card (#583)

That's all! -- Steve and Krin

Sunday, March 14th

There were no visitors Sunday and it was calm so Ed & I were able to get some other things in better order.

I punched holes in the laminated evacuation maps and placed them in the rings of each classes binder instead of it being in the pocket where it was getting covered by other papers. In doing this, I realized early pre-school doesn't even have a laminated evacuation map. Would Jocelyn or Blake be able to provide one for this classes folder?

At the end of the service late-preschool said they needed their scotchtape replenished. Their wooden cart was already gone so I got tape out of the supply room and just stuck it in the front of the brown filebox. Krin, could you put the tape in the late-preschool cart this week?

Late-preschool also brought Ed & I a tape/CD player cord at the end of the service. It did not fit the player in their wooden cart so I just laid it on our coordinator's rolling cart. If any coordinators have time in the next couple of weeks, they can try to figure out what it belongs to. If unsuccessful, I say we throw it!

One last thing, the 3rd grade wooden cart is a wreck, it needs repairs. Ed is going to try to work on it this week. (if we remember...anyone want to remember to remind us!!)

Ed replenished each classes snack supply and went through the snacks in the supply room. There were several bags of rancid animal crackers that he tossed.

At the end of the service, a nursery worker mentioned that some of the nursery toys are a bit on the ragged side. If anyone has a chance to look at them, they can. I know I'm supposed to be the inventory lady so technically, it's my job but I'm failing at it. Maybe I can look at them t his week though while Ed is fixing the 3rd grade wooden cart!

Oh, one more thought...5th grade teachers are the ones who requested more Bibles in their cart. I know Jocelyn purchased more and they are on our coordinator cart, I was wondering if we should just put them right in the 5th grade cart instead.

Signing off,

Connie
