WELCOME TO THE NEW 
5TH  GRADERS!!!


Assignment notebook update: We will have assignment notebooks for purchase. They are being ordered now. We anticipate the cost to be $5.00.  I will let you know if that changes. 

I hope that you all have had enjoyable and relaxing summers and are ready to get back to school.  J Although August still seems like it should be “summer” and not “school” to me, I have had a mind shift as I been in the school getting the classroom ready.

Current 6th graders (Can you believe YOU are the 6th graders now??): We will have an open house on Tuesday, August 14th @ 7 PM. The new students will be there with their parents (if they are in town). If you would like to drop in and welcome them to our room, you are more than welcome to come and introduce yourself to them. You also can bring your supplies and put them in your desks if you’d like.

Current 5th graders: Our Open House is Tuesday, August 14th @ 7 PM in the gym. Again, this is totally optional. If you cannot make that time but would like to drop off materials/supplies before the first day, I will be working until 6 PM on Monday, August 20th. I will have meetings in the AM, so afternoon would be best.

I’m going through Olympic withdrawal right now! I just love the Olympics, and I choke up every time an American wins and the Star Spangled Banner is played. Just can’t help myself!

I’ve been quilting, tubing, reading, cleaning, organizing, and running this summer. I look forward to hearing about your adventures, travels, and leisure activities in a week!
