Please read the previous Blog if you have not done so already. :-)


Whew!!!  We survived the first day of school. Your child should have came home with a planner and a homework folder.  Please sign necessary papers in the homework folder and return them tomorrow. This is their only homework tonight.  Tomorrow they will have spelling, reading, a math page and Vocabulary. We will finish most of the vocabulary in class. 

Please stress to your child how important it is to be respectful and kind to all students.

Our school Motto this year is "Compassion in Action." We discussed how to be good classmates today and did a lot of role play so the students understand how to be a good friend.  We will continue to work on Social interaction all week along with school rules.

Many students brought all their school supplies to school.  If there were duplicates your child can take them home until they are needed.  They will need 3 spiral notebooks to begin the school year.  Thank you for all of the helpers this morning covering books.
