Week 2 (Aug. 19th-23rd)

A BIG thank you to everyone who was able to show up for Back to School Night! It was nice meeting all of you! If you couldn't make it, I added the Google Slide to this blog page. Our class worked really hard this last week reviewing skills learned at the end of 2nd grade and put together several interactive notebooks to help us stay organized this year. We talked about the importance of standing up to bullies, working together, and signed a school wide "Anti-Bullying Pledge." We also completed several benchmark assessments that will be used to help drive my instruction and set goals for kiddos. Thank you SO much to all of you for your support, classroom donations, and communication. It's going to be a great year =)
