Oh yes, another picture!

The cutest class on Earth!

Picture Day!

Please remember that tomorrow, September, 21st is picture day. Even if your child is not purchasing pictures, their picture will still be taken. Bring your smiles!

Homework!!!

We will begin homework on Monday, September 19th. Please look for your child's yellow homework folder. Homework should be returned each Thursday. We will not begin spelling tests until the following week. Thank you, parents and have a wonderful weekend!

Popcorn and Pickle Day!

Our school is hosting the first popcorn/pickle day of the year tomorrow, Friday Setptember 8th. All items are just a quarter. Students can purchase snacks at their lunch recess. Yum!

Homecoming

I just found out today that on Friday, September 2nd school will be dismissed at 1:00 because of homecoming. Many children are involved in the parade so the district wants families to have time to safely attend the parade. The parade is at 4:00 on Main Street. Have fun!!!

Week 1= Testing, testing, testing

Well, week 1 is offically in the books! We have almost completed all of our assessments. We will have a reading test on Monday. All of our tests at the beginning of the year are to get a base-line so that I can measure your child's progress over the year.

I have to share a joke that one of our students told me in class yesterday: "What do you call a snail on a ship?"

"A Snailor!" Ha! (I love first graders!)

I hope that you all have a safe and wonderful weekend!

First Day of School

Well, if your children did not come home exhausted, I certainly did!! We had a day filled with learning class and school rules. We wrote stories about friends and started a self-portrait art project that we will display in our classroom for the year. The class already received compliments about their wonderful hallway behavior! (I told you we have a great group of kiddos!!)

Meet and Greet

It was very nice to meet all of you today. The kinder teachers kept telling me how great my students would be this year, and now I know exactly what they are talking about. We have an amazing group of kiddos! I am so excited for the first day of school tomorrow!

Welcome!

I hope that this blog becomes an important tool for our classroom and parents. I hope to share class and school news. I would love to post pictures of our classroom activities. I can't wait to get this up and going!
