It is always amazing how after the first day of school the classroom begins to feel like “home” again. We have finally met the smiling faces that go with the name tags that have been on desks and lockers for the last few weeks. We are both so excited for this year and all of the potential each student brings to the classroom. We recognize that every student has different likes and dislikes, has their own unique learning style, and has their own story to tell. September is all about learning who each student is so that we can meet all of their leaning needs. Thank you for assisting us on discovering who your child is by filling out the purple sheet that was sent home on the first day of school. We look forward to working together with each of you as we work to teach your children.

As a class we have spend a lot of time this past week understanding how our classroom is a “community.” We have spent time discussing what a safe community looks like because that is what we want in our classroom community. We have decided that our classroom is a place where we will always try our best,  it is OK to be yourself, we are encouraged to ask questions, and it’s even OK to make mistakes.

We are a “bucket filling” classroom and we are excited about the 2015-2016 school year.
