Time for me to get into the swing of the blog!
    My lesson plans are linked to the right of our updates.  I try to post on Fridays and put any updates here when I can.  Please feel free to call if you have any questions. 458-2892 ext105.  Spelling units and Health lessons will be completed at school.  We will learn to prioritize our workload and manage time to complete all projects.  If your child seems to have excessive homework, we need to talk about strategies to help reduce any frustration.
     Please contact the school to get Powerschool username and password for your child.  You may choose to have your child's grades emailed to you each week.  The secretaries are more than willing to help you through this process.  Your child was also given a username and password to access their online Social Studies book.  I am hoping this will reduce the number of books that need to be carried home.
    Keep an eye on the school announcements as it will update you on all school activities.  The blog will keep you up to date on classroom activities.
     Students have been given their state report packets.  These are not due until the beginning of October.  Some of the work will be completed at school.  Research and planning will be done as homework.  Students were asked to pick their states this week and I am excited to say that work has begun!
    We have had a warm start to our school year but I am very pleased with the production of the students!  We are completing our second week already.  This school year is on a fast pace!
