First Day of School!

Hello parents!  I had a wonderful day with your kiddos.  They were all so eager to be here and very adaptable to our crazy day.  I think it is going to be a great year.  This week we will be spending the majority of our time getting to know each other and learning routines.  I believe building relationships is the best way to start off the year.  We will then be diving into our schoolwork next week.

Things you should know for this week:

• Most  assignments will be graded on completion this week so that we can get used to our routines in the classroom.  It's always wise to practice.  
• We will have a spelling test with all the kid's first names on Friday.  This will also only be graded on completion so I can teach the spelling routine.  Your kid's should still practice these names:  
• Caleb
• Mason
• Logan
• Colton
• Emma
• Ryan
• Savannah
• Sophia
• Layna
• Joey
• Evaline
• Nicholas
• Kate
• Eli
• Mallory
• Evie
• Thelma
• Our first week of memory will be the only thing graded on accuracy.  It is the theme verse for the year. 
• 1 Thessalonians 3:12 - May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other.  

Here's a little peek at what we did today:

Making classroom Expectations (for me and for them)

Today your kiddos told me what they expect me to do this year. Tomorrow we will talk about their goals and my expectations for them.
