Book Orders

Students will be bringing home book orders today. Please do not feel obligated to purchase books. I send home orders throughout the school year as a way to provide you with the opportunity to purchase books at a great value.

These book orders will be due back to school by Wednesday, September 9th. There are instructions attached to the front of the order booklets. As always, don't hesitate to contact me with questions.

Notes Coming Home Today

Students will be bringing home three notes today.

One note is about September Scrip Orders and is printed on green paper.

The second note will be on pink paper and will explain our Charger of the Week program. This is done as part of our social studies curriculum. Each student is assigned a week when they will be the Charger of the Week. The week your child is assigned is written on the back of the pink letter.

The third note is a half sheet on blue paper. This note explains what we do with the paper books we send home. Students will be bringing home the first paper book tonight. It is called We Can. If you read the book with your child, sign the book, and send it back to school tomorrow, your child will get a sticker in their data folder.

As always, if you have any questions feel free to email me. We will talk about all of these things in greater detail at our first grade information night on Tuesday, September 8th from 5:30-6:00.

First Day

Tomorrow is the first day of school! It was great to meet so many of you at the open house tonight. I can't wait for our first day together tomorrow.

Don't forget to bring in your emergency and authorization cards as well as your signed family/school compact and Cleveland Pride sheet. When you bring back the Cleveland Pride sheet you will get a zipper pencil bag!

As always, please email me or call with any questions!

Welcome to Our Classroom Blog

Welcome to our blog! We'll be using this blog to communicate what goes on in our classroom throughout the school year. This is where I will post event information, homework assignment information, and general classroom announcements each day.

In maintaining safety for our students I ask that if you ever need to contact me about something you've read in the blog, please email me at my school address rather than leaving a message in the comments section.

I hope that we will find this blog to be a useful tool for classroom communication. I look forward to the upcoming school year!
