First Day!

We had a great first day in Room 2011!  We did several community building activities, such as "Find Someone Who..." where we looked for a classmate that went to a concert, wants to dye their hair, wishes they could drive, etc.  It was a fun activity and a great springboard for some humorous conversations (as you might imagine!).  We also started making lists of the top 10 reasons it's great to be back in school and worked on designing a t-shirt that will be paired with a paragraph (or more) about our summer.  It was a productive start to the year!

I hope you had a chance to check out your child's planner and look at the info in the Sands folder.  I know it is a lot to go through in one night (especially if you have more than one student), but please try to complete all the paperwork and return it as soon as possible.  The students will also continue to use their Sands folder until the spiral folders arrive (they are on backorder and we hope to have them next week), so please see that they bring it back to school every day.

Included in the folder was a flyer about parent night.  Please try to join us on August 26th to meet your child's teachers and learn more about what to expect this school year.  Check out the flyer for more info.

Thanks for all those who sent in supplies and the classroom fee!  If you were not able to send it all in today (which is fine!), please try to send it in by September 10th.  If you need to check the list again, click on the "supply list" tab above.

Tomorrow will be our first day of "academic sessions" or math, science and social studies classes.  Hopefully your child is excited to meet the rest of his/her teachers!

Thanks for your continued support!
