Welcome back!

Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year!  It was a pleasure to get to know each of your students today and I can't wait for the fantastic year we have ahead of us. In all of my years of teaching this is definitely the quickest learning group which is fantastic for both of them and me. We spent a lot of our day going over routines for the classroom and the school. We also spent time organizing all of the supplies you brought in. Just a quick reminder that students need to bring in $5 to purchase our classroom magazine and this year we are getting National Geographic! Another reminder is that students need to have a flash drive for our work on the computer throughout the year so that they may work on projects both at school and at home. If you can send both of those things in as soon as possible I would greatly appreciate it! Students should show you a bright green packet tonight that tells a little more about our classroom and please return the bottom piece of the last page to give permission to have your students picture on this blog. There will be pictures throughout the year of field trips, activities in class, and anything else interesting or fun that we work on. It's always exciting for students to see their pictures on the blog so I encourage you to send that in as soon as possible. Students first names will only be used on the blog with their picture. Every night students should show you their planner as well and you need to sign your initials at the bottom of each day's page so that I know you have seen their planner each night. We fill out the planners together daily and that is a great way to find any homework or projects that need to be completed as well as reminders of upcoming events or due dates.  I am looking forward to the rest of the year. Day one down, only 179 to go! Draw a :-) on today's date in the planner for bonus points for your group! See you all tomorrow!
