Happy New School Year!

Dear Families,

I hope you had a nice long weekend. The weather was beautiful Saturday and Sunday and I was able to spend the weekend camping. 

The first few weeks of school lays the groundwork for the students to create a supportive classroom community where they can do their best learning. Not only are we learning school routines, we are creating clear academic and behavioral expectations for the students. Together, we are creating a safe, joyful, and engaging classroom and school community.  

Your child brought home Writing Workshop homework. The assignment is due Friday, Sept. 6, 2019. The students will be personalizing their writing notebooks. The writing notebook is a place for writers to catch all the inspiration they find in their lives that could lead to a piece of writing.  We personalize the notebook with pictures and memorabilia of important moments, all of which call to mind stories we might want to write about in some form. Students should collect pictures and magazine clippings to personalize their notebook. Parents may email the pictures to me and I will print the pictures if you’d like.

Please remember to send your child with clothes to go outside on Fridays. A change of clothes and shoes may be useful.

Even though it was a busy first week of school, we still found time to explore the classroom library.




We are building our classroom community with cooperative activities that require lots of teamwork!






Math review is always more fun when you can eat the math tools! The graham crackers represent groups of one hundred, the pretzel sticks are groups of ten, and the raisins are ones. 




Forest Fridays!
