Open House is Wednesday, August 21 6:30 – 7:30.
I am looking forward to meeting all my new students and parents. See you there!
Thinking about next school year already? What to bring to school? First, I have provided several items: colored subject folders, a pencil, eraser, white board marker and eraser, and a writing notebook — the basic items to get the school year started. I also have in the classroom tubs of colored pencils, scissors, markers, and a few highlighters. Students should attempt to have the following items by the first day of school.
Any donations of disinfectant wipes and tissues would be appreciated to keep our room clean and healthy.
Wow! I can’t believe it is the end of the year! We had a great year learning together. I hope I fulfilled all the students’ expectations and more as a teacher to them. I will miss these fabulous kids!
Thank you to all the volunteers that help out all year to keep our classroom running smoothly, and thank you wonderful parents that spend that extra time at home to get the homework done! I consider it such an honor to teach your children and to have you share them with me all year. I have a smile on my face as I am typing and remembering all the special qualities in each one of them. I will miss you students!
Parents, please talk with your student about their summer reading goals and stop in to our Alward library for the summer reading program. I hope they are eager to read all summer long! Also, Xtra Math is a good way for your student to keep up on math facts. See all the learning links on my blog to prepare for fifth grade.
Have a great summer! See you as fifth graders next school year – woo hoo!

We learned a lot at our recycling field trip and landfill. Ask your student about it. I was happy to see so many hands of students who recycle at home. Students realized that the mountain of trash the bus drove on top of was just too much trash, and it sure stunk!
