"Me Collage"

Today was Constitution Day! Ask your kids what they learned and the year the Constitution was written. We made flags with 13 stars and the best part was if they got their flag done they didn't have any math homework. It's amazing what a little bribery can do - no one has math homework tonight! I truly love my kids. In the Monday Mailer there was an instruction sheet and rubric for an upcoming assignment. The kids are each required to make a poster all about themselves. They can include pictures, photos or drawings, of their family and friends and things that they like. They can use any size of poster board that they feel is necessary - within reason:) Remember - the posters are due on Monday, September 22nd. I am excited to learn more about them and will take lots of pictures to post on our website. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

We survived the first week!

Our first week of school was great! I enjoy every minute I get to spend with the kids and learn more about them every day. We did a great job learning the procedures and rules of the class. We even had a little fun along the way. This Monday our MAP tests begin. We will be testing Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:30-9:30. Please make sure your child gets a good nights rest and has a good breakfast. I'm ready and excited for our second week. :)

Open House

Hello Campers! I loved our Open House and the chance I got to meet you. It was fun to watch you choose your desks and get excited for school to start. I can hardly wait to see you on Tuesday morning, and I know I won't get any sleep on Monday night. Watch for me at our classroom door ready to welcome you to "Camp Learn-a-Lot."
