Hello Parents and Students,

After two days of class, I can already tell this is going to be a great year.

We have started working in our science books, and I will have on-line access codes and user names for the children tomorrow. They will be able to complete or review assignments at home or in Tech class.

We took a "Beginning of the Year" math assessment today, so I can see where we need to start with math instruction. We also started our first Read-Aloud novel, "When you Reach Me."  It's a challenging story, and just right for this group of bright students.

Tonight's homework was to read 30 minutes and write a paragraph about school rules--why we have them, and which one the writer thinks is particularly important. I mentioned that I think being kind and doing your best work are the important ones for me.

I'm off on a bike ride now!

Mrs. Stratton
