8/30

Hey everyone!  The newsletter has been updated, so check it out! Also, just a reminder that there is no school on labor day:)  Have a happy Monday off.  Also, I still have friends who are not getting their assignment notebooks signed, or who aren't reading 15 minutes daily.  Please make sure your child is doing this :)  Thanks so much!

8/23

Just a little FYI, we are getting out at 1:30 today, so please be sure to make arrangements for your student.  Also, our Tuesday News (which will be Monday Memo next week) has been updated and a paper copy is in your student's bag.

Also, PLEASE allow your child to bring a water bottle from home, it is sooooo hot in our room!

Last thing, just a reminder that it is EXPECTED that EVERY student reads for 15 minutes on school nights (monday-friday) and that they have a record of that as well as your signature in their assignment notebooks that are returned to school DAILY.  Please be sure to get into this routine now, because we will keep it all year.

Thanks so much,

Miss Whitsell

2nd day...success!   Today we did a few team building activities and also got to know one another a little better by playing the "Find someone who" game.  We also began creating a puzzle of everyone in our classroom, discussed hallway, cafeteria, restroom, and arrival/dismissal procedures, and had our very first PE.  We are off to a great beginning!

Today in your student's backpack, you will find the "Find someone who" paper, as well as our FIRST Wednesday News.  I put a short addendum on the newsletter.  From now on I will be doing them on MONDAY.  So be looking for that!  It will also be posted on the Monday Memo page of this blog.

Keep checking back for news, upcoming events, rubrics, and photos!
