Dot Day


Everyone had a blast "making their mark" on the blacktop. 



We read the book Ten Black Dots and thought about all the things you could make with dots. We have some very creative students.

Week of Sept. 12th

Every week I will post a schedule of our color days so you know when it's your child's share day, when we have PE so you know your child needs sneakers and when we have media center so you know when to return library books.  Don't worry about media center for this week since the children haven't checked out any books yet.

Monday - Red Day
Tuesday - Orange Day (PE, wear sneakers)
Wednesday - Yellow Day
Thursday - Green Day
Friday - Blue Day (PE, wear sneakers)

First day of school!!

We had a super first day today. The students came in and got settled like true first graders. Please remember to check your child's folder every day and send back forms. I know there's so much information that comes home at the beginning of the year. It will settle down. 
We spent today getting to know each other, learning new routines and going over rules and expectations.  Will post some first day pictures soon. If you do not want pictures of your child posted, you need to send in the "opt out" form that was mailed home so that I know not to include him/her. 
Looking forward to a wonderful year and hope everyone will be "reaching for the stars"
