Our first Scholastic order!



Our first Scholastic order forms will be coming home in this week's Thursday folder. I hope you'll take the time to check out the selection and prices available- there are usually lots of great deals! Ordering online is very easy and will help us earn points for our class so that we are able to purchase books for our class library and our brand new listening center.

Fun Alphabet Song!

Homework starts today!

Our first homework assignment is coming home today. Please remember to check your student's W.O.W. binder each Monday for the weekly homework, it can be found in the homework section. Written homework, usually spelling, should be completed on the lined paper provided in the Homework section, leave the work here when it is finished. If the work is not a written activity, just initial next to the assignment on the Homework sheet to show that it was completed.

After I check that the work has been completed, I will move the work to the "Completed Work" section at the back of the binder. Once it's there, you can remove it and keep it at home.I will also place graded classwork, tests, and activities in this section to come home.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

We're Back!

Today was the start of the 2012-2013 school year. We had a great day! I'm sure the amount of papers and paperwork coming home is overwhelming, but just do your best to complete it without letting it become stressful to your family. Return the emergency form and statement of understanding as soon as possible, and then worry about the others. We'll be here for the next 179 days!

It's Almost That Time Again...

Well, today is August 1st! That means 15 days until teachers report to school, and just 21 days until the first day of school! I can't wait to meet my new group of first graders and to see all of my old friends as they grow and change throughout their elementary years.

This summer has been a lot of fun for me and my family. We went to Walt Disney World in June and just returned from a trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls. Kegan is a whirling dervish at two and a half years old, and Lily is getting bigger every day now that she is three months old. I hope that you and your family have had a summer to remember as well!

We'll soon be starting all kinds of new adventures in first grade!
