This week just sailed by (Oh no, she’s using another ocean joke!).  The class shared that they missed me at the beginning of the week, so I am happy to report that I don’t have any planned absences coming up-and it feels great to know that I am loved and missed.  Next week is packed with fun events, so be sure to check out the news and important events/dates sections below.

I’m really excited about our upcoming fall conferences.  The students are hard at work preparing to lead the conversation, so be sure to sign up here.

I am thrilled to announce that our clean classroom project is going so well that a student has requested I add a broom to our class wish list!  Did you ever think your student would ask for that?  If you would like your student to participate in this optional project, there is still time to return your permission slip.  Check the yellow folder, and contact me if you need another copy.
