Dear Families,

This is our first whole week of school.  Friday is full day of school with a 2:45 dismissal.  The class has done very well adjusting to 5th grade.  We are learning all the new routines.  This week music and P.E. instruction begins.  Thursday is our P.E. day.  Please have your student wear their P.E. uniform to school.  Please join me for Back to School Night this Wednesday at 6:30.  Please see below the overview of our week.  Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
