Wow! I cannot believe this is week 5 already. This year is just flying by. We are all learning and growing so much. I can really see students thriving. I am sorry I was unable to make a post last week. It was a busy start with an even busier end. Thursday and Friday of last week I was out of town at my cousin's wedding in Sonoma, CA. It was a great time, but I'm glad to be back.
Parent Conferences are around the corner. I will be sending out a link to a spreadsheet with dates and times very soon. The dates will be October 8th and 9th.
I want to thank Mr. Misenti for coming to speak to the class about his career in Science. Everyone loved it!
We finally got out tablet last week. Students will be using the tablet daily to reinforce learned skills and to use technology in a different way. I am so excited and cannot wait to get this started in the classroom.
