We did it!

We made it through the first week of school with no problems! I am so impressed with this class; they listen, they work to understand, and they are respectful. I anticipate a great year!

I am looking forward to my Open House on Tuesday evening. It takes me awhile to remember which parent goes with which child, so this gives me another chance to put families together. I also feel it is important to start the year off right by explaining our classroom expectations so that parents don't run into surprises during the year. Sometimes we teachers get so wrapped up in our teaching, that we forget to let families know what we are up to! I can assure you it isn't intentional; we just get busy.

This week we will try to establish a routine. We will start our first reading story, work on spelling words, begin our science unit, and start learning how to work through our literacy centers.

Thank you for all of your support, and for encouraging your children to do their best in school!
