It was wonderful to see so many of you at Back to School Night, and I was glad so many people were able to sign up for a conference.  Here is the conference schedule as it stands now.  Please check it and make sure our calendars match.  If you were not able to sign up at Back to School Night, please take a look at the available times and email me with your preference.  Thank you.

PTO Breakfast

Thank you so much for the wonderful breakfast on Friday.  The PTO gave a beautiful welcome back breakfast for the teachers.  What a treat!

Mystery Reader

We are ready for our first Mystery Reader!  All you need to do is check the schedule, find a time that works for you, and choose a book to read to our class.  It can be a seaasonal book, poetry, a book you enjoyed as a child or a book your child enjoys.  I hope you can be our Mystery Reader soon.  Click here to see which dates are available, and please email me to let me know which slot you would like.  Thank you.

Ms Natale

We are delighted to have an excellent student teacher this semester, Ms. Natale.  Her supervisor will observe her in our classroom several times.  Dr. Cromwell's first visit will take place on Thursday, and we know Ms. Natale will do a fabulous job.  Fun fact:  Dr. Cromwell was my colleague at Happy Hollow back in the nineties!

Have a great week.  Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
