Kevin Henkes

Our current author study and whose books are used for reading and writing lessons is Kevin Henkes. He has written Chrysanthemum, Owen, Sheila Rae, the Brave, Waiting, among many many more! Tomorrow we will be reading Lilly's Big Day. If you are at the library, your child may like to take some of his books home to peruse.

Welcome to 2016 - 2017 School Year

As I was looking back at last year's posts, the one thing that stuck out was that the last post said there were only 9 days left. Now we are already 6 days in!! Time is too precious!

Speaking of precious, your kiddos are great!!! They have adapted so well to new routines, new friends, new teachers, new everything... I am blown away by the work they are doing and how much effort they put into things. This year will be awesome!

A few reminders and announcements:
Today: Library - We won't have library again until the 28th, so they can keep the books that are taken out until that day.
Friday: Wear red and black - Hilton colors- We have our first PBIS assembly.
Wednesday, Sept. 28: Half Day for Students
Thursday, Sept. 29: Book Fair at 9:45 am AND Open House.

I'm off to make some copies and organize assessment binders. Enjoy your afternoon!
