Things are changing!

Change is never easy, especially if one is a creature of habit like I am! We are no longer going to learn spelling in the traditional manner that most of us learned; we are going to work grammar into our writing more; and our teaching of reading strategies will be laid out in a more uniform format so that we are all teaching the same thing. These changes are good! I am thrilled to have a student teacher at this time so that I have some time to research ideas so that I give your kids what they need to be successful. Be patient - I am learning too!

Kids, you are awesome! I am really enjoying getting to know all of you, and you have already managed to challenge me as a teacher (in a good way!). You have done a great job of getting into our routine, you work hard, and you have welcomed Mrs. Kraus and made her feel comfortable in our class. Thank you!

Challenge Question: Who is the author of My Rows and Piles of Coins?

Write down your answer (don't tell your friends!), put it on my desk, and you will earn $5!
