First day of school
Hi Parents! What a whirlwind of a day. Overall, the day was awesome! The students did a great job transitioning into 5th grade. We went over the rules and procedures for the year for the majority of the day. We also did a few ice breakers and getting to know you activities. The students seemed to enjoy these activities and learned a little bit more about each other. Tonight, they need to read at least 20 pages. Thank you for sending in all of the supplies! We are still in need of construction paper, dry erase markers, and washable markers.
