I am so excited to have such a great group of students! We are going to have a fantastic year!
We are mostly organized now and are working on learning the routines and rules that we will follow this year. As outlined in the letter I sent home on the first day of school, the two important words for this year will be RESPECT and RESPONSIBILITY. We have talked about both of these words and what it means to be respectful and responsible.
I also sent home an Interest Inventory on the first day. Thank you to families who have sent those back already. I like to get to know my students and what their interests are, it helps me in planning activities and choosing topics that will engage students.
Today in the homework folders there was a school newsletter, a pack of forms that need to be reviewed, signed and returned, as well as a hot lunch order form. Hot lunch orders are due back on Monday, September 10th. A calendar was also sent home. If your family ended up with 2 calendars by mistake, kindly send one back to the school.
I hope to get some pictures up on the Photobucket site this weekend. I am currently getting my email list together, and once I have pictures on the Photobucket site I will email the password needed to view the pictures. Thanks for your patience as I get everything up and running.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the school in person or by phone, or by email.
