Special Timeline Assignment – Please have your child complete the Timeline worksheet and return in on Friday.  I would also like you to send a picture of your child as a baby (not older than 18 months if possible).  We will be using these for a Guess Who? committee in conjunction with a social studies unit on timelines.  Please make sure their name is on the back; a sticky note is fine.  I am including an envelope for you to send the picture in.  I will return the photo to you as soon as we are done.  Please remind them NOT to show it to anyone.

Dear Parents:

   I will be driving out to St. Paul, Minnesota to pick up my daughter after a very successful first year of college.  I will leave Thursday, May 9th.  I am taking a little extra time so I may visit her college which I was unable to do in the fall.

   Ms. Stillman, who has substituted for me in the past, will be here for the entire time.  She will be following the plans I have prepared for her.  The students are comfortable with her and always do a great job.  I know I am leaving them in very capable hands.

   I will return to school on Thursday, May 16th.  Thank you for your understanding.
 
Sincerely,
 

 
Tanya Mauldin
