Monday: We will have a new student from Warren joining our class. She is a first grader and her name is Hannah and she will have a younger brother attending the school as well.
Tuesday: Keeping with Monday's theme, we will welcome a second new child to our classroom. Her name is Azailia and she will be joining us from Montpelier. She is a first grader, and some of the students had a chance to meet her last week.
Wednesday: Ms. Hines will start her solo teaching week. She will solo on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Wednesday. I will be in the building for most of her solo teaching, and using the time to test the two new students and work on my report cards. Wednesday is also an early release day. The students will be dismissed shortly before 12:00.
Thursday: Wow! Nothing out of the ordinary scheduled yet. Stay tuned.
Friday: Ms. Hines will start her our new science unit. It is the study of the Earth, Moon, and Sky. This is a unit Ms. Hines has developed herself. She will be guiding us through this unit through the end of her student teaching (in December).

We will be starting our Pen-Pal letters today. The students will do some pre-writing today, a rough draft on Tuesday, and a final draft Wednesday and Thursday.
NOTES:
*Students need to have boots for recess. If the ground is wet and muddy, I ask that you send in boots or other shoes for recess time. We sit on the carpet quite a bit and it is nice to not have a bunch of mud and dirt on it. Also, it prevents your child from having to wear wet shoes during the afternoon.
*There is math and reading homework this week. However, I won't send it home until Tuesday. I want the kids to enjoy tonight. Your child has a math game in his/her bag and a new reading log. Please make sure your child fills out their reading log each night. Feel free to write for them (especially the 1st graders).
That is all for now. I hope you have a wonderful week.
Peace,
Tom
P.S. How about those Steelers!
