Welcome Back to School!

I can’t believe the first week is already in the books!  We had a lot of fun getting to know each other last week.

Last week we enjoyed reading some letters from last years fifth graders, exploring the wetland area, getting acquainted with the scientific method via the Coke and Pepsi taste test, and finally our water melon eating competition Friday afternoon.  Fun was had by all for sure!

  This week we will be back to business.  The big change this year is I will be teaching science to all three classes, Mrs. Greshaw will teach Math, and Mr. Carrell will teach Social Studies.  The kids will rotate through most days.  We all will be teaching our own Language Arts.  This will help the students be more prepared for the changing of rooms at middle school.  There will be more information at our upcoming Parent Meeting scheduled for Sept. 22 at 5:30pm.
