Please email me if you are unable to attend the meeting, I would be happy to email you the PowerPoint and send home any handouts. Have a Wonderful Night!

Next week we will be reading our first story out of our Journeys reading series. Your child can read the story online by logging on Journeys/Think Central website. Log in information will be coming home on Friday in your child’s binder. It will have your child’s username and password to log into the website.  The link to the Journeys/Think Central website is on my website under links (Journeys Resources).  Please email me if you have any questions.

The first couple days of school have been busy! We have had a wonderful time getting to know one another and building our classroom community. We are getting used to the routines of our classroom and daily schedule. We have had lots of fun reviewing our kindergarten skills, an author study on Kevin Henkes and starting our Saxon Math Series. I will also be introducing the students to center rotations and parts of Daily Five.

Next week we will begin our Journeys Reading Series and weekly spelling test. Our first story will be, What is a Pal? Please look for next week’s homework page and book report information coming home in the Thursday folder tomorrow.

Welcome to a new school year.  I am so excited to have your child in my class this year.  I can’t wait to meet your child at Open House and begin the new school year!

Open House is August 12, 2016 at 1:30 p.m.
