Week 1~ August 19, 2016

The first few days of first grade have been so smooth! The kids have been eager to learn and are learning to persevere through an ENTIRE day! I must say, they are doing an incredible job. I am sure they're falling apart once they reach home!
The week has been filled with new books, reading, writing, counting, and routines! the students have embraced each part of our day like a trooper. Lunch in the cafeteria and recess has been a highlight for many!    

TidBits to know:

• WE will post student centered weekly celebrations on our tab, Celebrate Weekly. Please visit and comment to the kids, they will LOVE IT!

• I like to call each family in the early weeks of school to get to know you and your child better. The connection between student/teacher and parent/teacher relationships and success in school is real. Please don't be alarmed when I call you. (My cell ends in 9657, if you see this on your phone, I am not a political caller, haha)
