Congratulations. If you are reading this on the blog. It means you got the newsletter and found your way here. This blog is a very important part of our class. I believe that this blog is not just for parents but also for the students. It is a place where the learning that happens in the classroom can continue at home. There are lots of resources here for both parents and students. While we are starting the 2016-2017 year, there are blog posts, videos and other things from past years that may still have relevance for you and your family. Take some time to familiarize yourself with the site. As the newsletter says, there will be no more paper newsletters coming home.

What a great first day! It was so wonderful seeing excited faces and all the brand, shiny new school supplies rocking the desks! We had a great day today learning about each other, playing games, creating our class mission statement and having lots of fun. The half day went by very quickly!

Just a note that some students were missing some supplies. Please check with your child to make sure they were not missing anything today.

The children were very excited about the homework they had today. Well… they were excited because the homework was for you! Your child should have a newsletter in their planner. At the back of the newsletter, there is a questionnaire that I would kindly request you fill out and send back with your child as soon as possible. I have also embedded a copy of it here if you need to print another one out.
