First Day!
Today was the first day of school, and what a wonderful day it was! Parents, you send some awesome students to school! Kids, you are really stepping up to the plate to make this class of 30 work! We also have a teacher’s aid in the class, Mrs. Toita. She did a super job working with the students today, and also helping keep me organized and on track.
Thanks to Colin’s Mom for bringing in a plant for the classroom! I’m hoping to get more, but we need to make sure they aren’t poisonous. For example, philodendrons are beautiful and help clean the air, but are poisonous. A watering can for these plants would also be welcome. Thanks also to the families that sent in classroom supplies. We got a bunch, including staples, stickies, and paper clips.
Each student brought home a collection of papers for you to fill out and return. A school handbook was also included. Please go over it with your child and both of you should sign and return the sheet on the front of the handbook. Parents have homework, too! Students should also be interviewing you tonight about their “reading history”. I sent home a sheet with questions to help them do this.
Thank you for sending such wonderful children to school! I look forward to getting to know all of you.
