Wow! What a great 1st day. We worked really hard today and accomplished a lot. I'm exhausted and I'm sure your child is too. We read a fantastic story to start our day called "The Day You Begin." We stretched our thinking, interpreted the author's message and even found some symbolism. And this was all before 9:30. I loved seeing friends reunite, new students welcomed with smiles and enthusiasm about 4th grade.
Your child brought home a new home/school folder and some paper work to complete. Please work together with your child to empty their folder. Please return the paperwork by Friday.
I can't wait to see everyone tomorrow morning! If your child had any questions or concerns about their 1st day please call or email me mfinnerty@cbrsd.org.
Wow! In one week we will be just about finished with our first day of school! I am working really hard to put the finishing touches on our classroom. Each year I change it just a bit and this year I think the set up is the best one yet. It makes me so excited for you to see it. As I look forward to next week I'd like to share with you three things I am looking forward to this school year and three things I am looking forward to doing during my last few days of summer! I'd love to hear from you! What are you looking forward to? What do you want to do with your last few days of summer?
Three Things I am Looking Forward to this School Year
New books! We must have over 100 new books in our library!
We have a new projector in our room! No more messy cords! Hopefully I learn how to set it up and use it by the first day of school!
Getting to know each of you and learning with you every day!
