Welcome Students and Parents!

I am very excited about our upcoming school year and our new blog. I will be updating information about our classroom as often as possible and hopefully this will create an open communication forum between parents, students and myself.

The first day of school was a great success. I was so happy to see all of my returning students and very excited to meet my new students.

I have or will be sending some important information over the next couple of days. Please ask your child about this information.

Student Expectancy Sheet (Parent/Guardian homework assignment)
Classroom Rules and Procedures (Must be signed and returned)
Health office information
Schedule
Jr. High Supply List

On my student expectancy sheet I assigned parents/guardians a small homework assignment.

Excerpt: I thought it would only be fair if I asked the parents/guardians to do one small homework assignment since the students will be starting their own soon. Parents/guardians know their children the best and it can be difficult to get to know each student within the first few days. So if you could share with me your knowledge of your child it would help me to understand each of them better and create an open and sharing classroom environment.

Assignment:
In a million words or less tell me about your child....
Don't worry there is no grade for this assingment and it can be as simple as a few words or a ten page essay if you like. This is just a chance for you to share with me anything you think would be informative, funny or helpful.

Please review classroom procedures and sign and return on Monday 08/17/2009.

Please continue to check the blog and feel free to email me if you have any questions. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
