First day!

My goodness! Whew! We have all survived the first day!
It was a great day that just FLEW by! All of the kiddos came in looking so cute and were so well behaved, I was very impressed. I'm sure they didn't come home looking as cute. Boy was it hot outside at recess!

Just as a reminder it is really hot, really sunny and sticky too! If you would like to send sunscreen with your student for recess time that would be fine. They will be responsible for putting it on themselves but it wouldn't be a bad idea just for the next month or two. I know they sell the cute twist up kind (they look a little like glue stick containers) somewhere so that it isn't so messy for the little ones.

Also, a BIG thank you is in order for all of the supplies that came in this morning! It was overwhelming how much support I have from parents. It is great to see all of you taking such a big role in your student's education. It feels amazing to know that I have the support of all of you along the journey!

Please pack snacks for your kids! HEALTHY snacks! It's a long day and they need brain food.

I will be finishing up the take-home folders this week and we will start using them next week. Reminder: homework will be reading for 15 minutes at least 4 days a week until I have a chance to assess student knowledge and set up homework packets at individual levels.

PLEASE DON'T FORGET THAT YOU MAY EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE!! Don't be shy! :) I will work on a volunteer schedule this weekend and get that out to all of you wonderful parents next week!
You rock!

Give your kiddos a hug for me!
