Day 2 - Another Great Day!

The second day of the school year always seems to be more difficult than the first from my experience.  Students seem to let their guard down a bit more and feel a lot more comfortable in their surroundings.  This means students are more talkative with those around them and more carefree - forgetting that we are in a place of learning and high expectations.

Today was GREAT!  Students got right to work with very few reminders, they remembered everything we spoke about yesterday and seemed invested in all that was happening today.  And we did a lot - even considering the high temperatures within the classrooms this afternoon.

• Daily Oral Language
• Grammar
• Fire Drill
• Discussing Homework
• Timed Math Facts Tests
• Reading Poetry
• Writing
• Three Strikes!
• Art, Recess and Lunch

We had a busy day and got a lot done.  I won't list out in the future what we do during the day.  I am writing to explain just how impressed I am with your kids and proud of what we accomplished on the second day of school when I was expecting much less. 

Thank you for sharing your children with me.  Each and every one put a smile on my face at least once today.  They all worked so hard and I just had to let you know.

BTW - Our Open House is scheduled for Thursday, September 12 starting at 7pm in our All- Purpose Room.  Mark your calendars and I look forward to seeing you then.

Welcome Back

Is everyone excited?  I am!!  I've been so busy RELAXING and getting ready for a great new year.  Hope you all had the chance to do the same.

Parents - make sure to come back frequently for classroom happenings and updates.  You can enter your personal email on the right side of the screen to get automatic updates to the classroom blog.  This way, you will always be in the know!  I'll talk more about it at our upcoming Open House.

See you all soon!
