First Day of School

We had a GREAT first day !! These kids are so cute. And, so smart ..... WOW! I really enjoyed spending the day with these students. I'm sure they are as tired as I am ... it's hard to get back in the swing of things. We are absolutely LUCKY to have Student Teacher, Mrs. Ellen Johnson, with us for our first semester. She will be letting you know more about herself, but she is truly amazing, and I'm so excited to have her in our classroom.

Twilight Tours

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !! Twilight Tours was great. It was wonderful to meet my families for the upcoming year. WOW! What a great looking group of kids. (The other teachers kept commenting on how cute my kids were ..... what can I say??) But - thank you for taking the time in your busy lives to come in and meet me and get acquainted with our classroom. I am very excited for Monday. Your child can either meet us in the classroom, or meet me on the playground. We will have a very busy first week -- and we will all be exhausted. Notice I said WE -- it is hard to get back in the swing of things.

JUST A NOTE: We will be having Spelling this first week. Monday your student will get their list for the week. We will not have a Pre-test, just a final test on Friday. That will be the only homework for the week, just study the words a bit. There is a site that I will be teaching the kids about this next week for Spelling. It is called Spelling City. There is a link at the top of this blog. It has each of my lists (next week is List #1). You can find games, pre-tests, lots of things that help with spelling.

Have a great weekend !!
