What a fabulous first week! We went over many procedures and I was able to get to know my new students a little bit. I love my class already! A few things to think about…

• Homework for students next week will consist of reading 100 minutes and getting three green lights on Reflex unless they already have 100%. Students should already be thinking about the 200+ page chapter book they would like to read for their quarterly book report. 
• Picture day will be Thursday, August 9th. I will send the students home with the picture order form on Monday. This is the picture that will be used for name badges and the school yearbook.
• Forms for Lego League tryouts are due by September 6th at 3:00pm.
