Remember, do not wear costumes on the 28th for our Halloween Party. It is a rule at Lincoln that we are not allowed to wear costumes, crazy hair, or face paint. Please do wear your orange and black!!!!
I hope you all have a safe Halloween weekend!!!

Another Tonsillectomy Update
Well, here I am amending my previous post. It was a really hard and rough week. I thought the first few days of recovery would be the hardest. I was wrong. After careful consideration I have finally figured out that I truly needed two weeks away from work to fully recover. The wishful thinking by me was that I would be better by Monday the 18th. I could not have been more wrong. I have not been able to eat, talk, or really have energy or strength to walk. Every day is getting better, but I unfortunately will not be back to work until the 22nd of October.
I am so sorry that I will not be with your kids. I am definitely getting better day by day, but to continue the teaching that I have planned, I need to get myself better. Please know I think about you and your children daily.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Polteno

Tonsillectomy update!!
Parents:
Well, here I am in bed recovering from the craziness from the past few days. First things first!!! I miss your children tremendously. They are amazing kiddos. Mrs. Bagby is taking great care of your kids. She is constantly asking questions, making sure she is doing everything she can for them. I get many updates on the kiddos and I am so grateful for that. Mrs. Bagby brought a stack of get well cards from the kids to my house yesteray. It was so sweet and definitely has helped me keep my spirits up through this ordeal.
On to the fun of the recovery. I am in a lot of pain. It hurts a ton. I can see why they said that I needed time off work. I have no energy, and am on a lot of medication for pain. I have been told that I will be getting better and then on about day 5 of the recovery I will hit the wall and be worse again. So, I cannot say the worst is over.
In the hopes of keeping your kids up to date on their learning, I have decided to only teach half days the 18th through the 22nd of October. I did this so that I can recover faster. The substitute will be Mrs. Bertolina. She is a 3rd grade teacher at Lincoln that does not work in the afternoons.
Thank you for your kind words to me before my surgery. It means a lot to me and is helping carry me through the recovery process. You are all wonderful. I look forward to seeing you when I get back to work on the 18th.
Love,
Mrs. Polteno

Homework!!!!
Parents:
Homework is a wonderful way for you to spend time with your child and watch them learn. It is also a good indicator of what letters and sounds your child needs to work on the most. There are activities that go along with the homework that cannot be completed on their own. They NEED your help to achieve maximum success in their homework completion.
Please review the letter names and sounds that are on the front of the homework packet DAILY!! I check every Friday what letters and sounds they know. They should have mastered the letters and sounds on the front of the packet by the Friday the homework packet is due.
Please take the homework seriously. Do it on a nightly basis not only to finish the pages in the packet but to review the letters and sounds which is essential to achieving in school.
What wonderful kids you have. I am so grateful to be their teacher.

Los padres:
Los deberes son una manera maravillosa para usted pasar tiempo con su niño y mirarlos aprenden. Es también un indicador bueno de lo que cartas y suena a su niño debe trabajar en el más. Hay actividades que acompañan los deberes que no puede ser completado solo. NECESITAN su ayuda a lograr éxito máximo en su terminación de deberes.
¡Revise por favor los nombres de carta y sonidos que están en la frente del paquete de deberes DIARIO!! Verifico todos los viernes qué cartas y sonidos que saben. Deben haber dominado las cartas y los sonidos en la frente del paquete por el el viernes que el paquete de deberes es debido.
Tome por favor los deberes gravemente. Hágalo en una base de todas las noches no sólo terminar las páginas en el paquete pero para revisar las cartas y los sonidos que es esencial a lograr en la escuela.
Lo que niños maravillosos que usted tiene. Estoy tan agradecido ser su maestro.
