Welcome Back to School!
Today we spent a lot of time going over rules and routines to help our year in fifth grade run smoothly.  Students had their special, recess, and lunch.  This afternoon they visited periods 1, 2, 3, and 4.  Communication envelopes were sent home today with additional beginning of the year information.  Thank you to the parents who already returned their child's paperwork.  Because I was unable to attend back to school night, I will be in school this Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. if you would like to meet. I am looking forward to a great year!  There is no written homework.  Tomorrow is Day 2--Library class.
Have a great night!
