This means that he gets to bring in a poster about himself as well as a show-and-tell item.  We can’t wait to get to know more about Parker!

Hello!  We would like to start class store this week!  And we cannot make that happen without fabulous parent volunteers.  Our class is looking for 2 volunteers willing to run the class store on Thursday afternoons from 2:30 until the end of the day.  Until we get things rolling, it would be a good idea to start at 2:20pm.  Please let me know if you would like to be one of our class store volunteers.  We thank you in advance!

Tomorrow is our first Dollar Dress down day!

I am also missing some parents from Bloomz.  Please remember that Bloomz is a great way to stay connected, not only to myself, but to their math and science teachers as well.  You can message and ask questions.  Please let me know if you have any questions by emailing me.

Please make sure that you have signed up for Bloomz. We will be communicating mostly through Bloomz this year. Also, if you have disclosures, food permission forms, or child information sheets from back-to-school night, please make sure to send those back to school with your student.
Thanks,
Mrs. Zimm

Parents,

Picture day is Thursday, August 29th. Please send your order form with your student if you plan to order pictures.

Parents,
Because tomorrow is the first day, you may walk your child to the classroom.  We will still be collecting school supplies as well.  Normally, students head outside until I come out to invite them in.  At the end of the day, students will exit out the east doors at the end of our hall.  From there, they will be dismissed to go to their designated meeting spots.  I know we will all have our first day jitters, so please email me if you have any concerns. I can’t wait to get started and look forward to getting to know each of your amazing children!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Zimm

We will have Back to School Night on August 16th from 5:30-7:30pm.  You may bring your classroom supplies that night.  The supply list is posted on my blog under Parent Info.  At Back to School night, you will be able to sign up for volunteer opportunities as well as for your student’s Star Student Week.  (Please refer to my disclosure for more information).

If your child was assigned to my class, they have the unique opportunity to have a team of 3 teachers supporting them this year.  I will be teaching the ELA block of the day.  Mrs. Woodrow and Mrs. Ezzell will be teaching the Math and Science block.  We are very excited for this opportunity.

Once again, I hope you are all having a fantastic summer and cannot wait to meet you all in August!
