We're back to school today and all the kids were so happy with tons of smiles and hugs. The room has been reorganized to have team tables and today all the students chose team names. Teams can earn points for helping each other to stay organized, staying quiet and on task, keeping a clean work space, and doing their class jobs.

I was so pleased with my reading class today and their focus on reading their books. They are sure maturing as readers! I hope to keep them motivated by providing them with some science, social studies, and poetry centers. This weeks literary focus is on fairy tales and distinguishing reality from fantasy.

Math class was assigned their first math project and I would appreciate parent assistance to ensure they safely do their research on the Apollo missions. If you need to use a school computer, just let me know so I can get you scheduled in.
