9/2-9/6

Just a reminder: We will have our first Bible test on Tuesday, September 2, and our first Spelling test will be on Wednesday, September 3.

Please make sure all students are reading their Reading homework twice by themselves and once to an adult.

Have a great 3 day weekend!  See you on Tuesday!

8/26-8/30

We are off to a good start!

If any parent is willing to volunteer, please let me know.  I would like to have a couple of volunteers to come in and make copies, take books apart, read to my class, and help plan and organize parties.

I will be sending home Bible Verses for the month and our first Spelling List next week.  Our first Bible test will be on Tuesday, September 3, and our first Spelling Test will be on Wednesday, September 4.

Students will switch classes this year for Phonics and Arithmetic.  I will be teaching both 1st and 2nd grade Arithmetic this year, and Mrs. Eades will be teaching both 1st and 2nd grade Phonics this year. 

Please make sure that the children have tennis shoes in their book bags if they do not wear them to school.

Please take a look at the dress code on our main webpage.  We are not allowed to wear tank tops and flip flops,  and shorts have to be within 2 inches above the knee. 

If you have any concerns or questions, please contact me through email or call the school office and leave a message with Mrs. Annie, and I will call you back. 

Don't forget students will be bringing home their behavior charts on Fridays.  They must be signed and returned on the following Monday.

Have a great weekend!
