For the most part, today's spelling and vocabulary test grades were great! Ms. Martin did tell each student his/her grade, so ask about them. The test papers will go home in folders on Tuesday.

Please read at least 20 pages this weekend in AR book. Students should be on about page 100 when they return to school on Monday.

Happy birthday, Nikki!

We all wish Nikki a very happy birthday today!

We had a very productive day today! Though the pace may seem a bit slow at first, we are working on establishing our routines and procedures. Learning these early will make for a very smooth year!

Two things many students need to work on are the proper heading and legible handwriting. Many of our assignments here at the beginning are to help improve these skills.

Most of our students earned FIVE Accelerated Math objectives today! Way to go! They remember a lot of math from last year.

Study times tables for speed test Thurs.

Work on sp. 3x each (2x cursive/1x print) due Thurs.
Work on vocab. sentences (1st 5 terms) due Fri.

Read AR book! :)

First Day of School Recap

We had a great start to school this year! If you were stuck in any of the traffic, please be patient and know that it will run smoother as the days go by. You might also want to consider riding the bus this year.

We're really looking forward to a great year, and if this year's first day is any indication, it's going to be a fabulous one! Thanks so much for your support.

Open House Thursday @ 6:30

We hope to see each of you this Thursday at 6:30 PM for Open House. This year, "meet the teacher" is not a drop-in event, but rather an open house. We will begin at 6:30 in our room (#4) and share some important information with you. Hope you can make it! You'll be glad you came.
