CAMP BOURNEDALE INFO.

We are very much looking forward to our trip to Camp Bournedale this Thursday and Friday. 

Here are some reminders so that the two days 

will go as smoothly as possible:

• All students going must be at school no later than 7:45. Drop off is on the side of the school by the playground & big tree.
• Any medication must be in a plastic zip lock bag labeled with the child's name. Medication bags must be given to a teacher Thursday morning.
• Label all luggage with child's name and school.
• Pick up is at Memorial at 1:30 on Friday

Day One

I am sitting here after our first day just thinking about how excited I am for this upcoming year! We had such a wonderful first day. We started with an all school assembly with Mrs. Dressler. The class then went to music (please note the specialist days on the right side of this page). We did a lot of organizing! We spent a good amount of time getting to know each other. One highlight from the day was our "Carousel Walk." I posed a variety of questions and each student responded on a post-it note. This will help us build our Classroom Constitution. Check out some of the responses below: 

history, math, long division

calm, safe, fun, quiet

 encourage us, help with math skills, help me be a better reader

be respectful, follow rules, be nice, listen

 be supportive, help with homework, help me study 

listen to all teachers, be kind, put in my best effort 

Setting up!

Welcome Room 235! 

I hope you enjoyed reading my letter and that you're gearing up for the wonderful year we have ahead of us. Here are the things you need to bring with you on the first day of school: 

• A positive attitude, determination, curiosity, and respect.
• A brown paper bag filled with 5 items that explain something about you (a picture, a sea shell, a brochure from somewhere…anything that you think represents you! )
• Your summer reading assignment 

Here's what our classroom looks like right now! It will look much different on September 3rd. Look at all of those new supplies waiting for you :)
