Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year!

We've completed our first full week of the 2016-2017 school year! I've so enjoyed getting to know our new students, in both my homeroom family and Mrs. Seibert's friends. We have a lovely group of second graders.

We spent our first week of school getting to know each other, discussing our classroom community and the characteristics of good friends and students, establishing our math routines, and learning about our math centers. I hope my homeroom friends took the time to share their very first weekly letter. If not, please check out the #5 section of the WOW Binder each week to find our weekly letter.

Next week, we will begin using those centers as we start our first math unit on addition and subtraction to 20, place value in the ones and tens, and the differences between odd and even numbers. We will also begin our first science unit on the life cycles of plants, frogs, butterflies, and even chickens!

Schools are closed on Monday for Labor Day. I hope that you and your family have a fun and relaxing day! Tuesday will be an A Day, which means that we will be starting the week with Media. Wednesday is a B Day, P.E., Thursday is a C Day, also P.E., and Friday will be a D Day, Art.

This weekend, I will be working on adding my first group of photos to our class shutterfly site. Once they are uploaded, I will send out the invitation emails.

Have a great weekend!
