So I was quite anxious about being the coordinators for move-up Sunday, this being our first time I didn't know what to expect. It was very quiet...and I'm thankful.
Just a few notes:
1) we could use a few more pens and pencils in the zipper pouch. I had to toss a few pens that were done
2) Al and Celeste Gorski need a new ID card, the new orange ones...yes already :-)
3) the Knepps tried Myka in the Kindergarten class because they feel he is to big to continue in late preschool. We need to come up with a "Myka supply box" for him and his aide. Stuff that will hold his attention, but is not noisy or distracting to the kids in the K class. I was thinking a magnet board and some magnets, some picture books, play-dough. I would love to take this project on of putting it together, but I can't promise I'll have it done by this coming Sunday. If any of you other coordinators have suggestions of things we could put in the box send them my way.
4) Karah McNeil is moving from Nursey to Early Preschool.
5) What is the rule for how many teachers in a classroom? I have always thought that there needs to be two adults but recenlty I have noticed a few teachers having their "youth-aged" child helping just one adult. This past Sunday being Becky with Gabrielle. I just want to clarify if this is OK.
6) Michaela Miller would like to be added to the schedule now that she is old enough
That's all. Jane

August 26th
We started handing out the new ID cards, still about half left to hand out.
Regarding aide list: please remove Sawyer Beckley and Sarah Fenstermacher
The nursery was pretty chaotic again as I had no adults the first 10 min. Thank you Krin for helping me out. Rachel Gardocki did not show up. I believe the last time we were one she did not show up and Krin mentioned the same when they were on. Could we check with her if she still wants to be kept on?
Jocelyn, info for the Hagemen's. e-mail dhageman7@verizon.net 215-453-1478 (move up info)
Blake: regarding a teacher switch for 2nd and 3rd grade. Jesus Arocho came to us and asked if it was possible for him to move up to the third grade class as he enjoyed his 2nd graders this past year. After class was over Dave Dailey came and asked if he and Brooke could move back down to 2nd grade? We were so excited and told Dave about Jesus wanting to move up. We will let you figure out the details of this and get back to both teachers. Dave and Brooke really would prefer to stay with the April and Aug months as 3 months would be a lot for them.
Thats it.

Sundays August 5 & 12
Hi All -
The 5th was pretty uneventful, and today was fine but a large number of criers in the nursery made that a rough morning in there. Had 5 nursery workers, but it still stayed an unsettled morning.
Also, we've been putting an extra aide in late preschool for the last two weeks because there has been a steady 16-18 kids in there, and it's just really busy.
Hageman's need new ID Cards.
We need more encouragement cards and also temporary ID cards (will probably need those for this Sunday if that's not too much of a problem.)
Blake, the Schwenks were wondering if their son Ezra may be put into Early Pre? He is 1 1/2 and wants to stay in there each Sunday when his sister is dropped off in there. They have not been putting him in nursery because they feel he might be a bit too much for the little ones in there. Your thoughts?
I think that's all for now - have a great week everyone~!

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.
