We are almost ready to start the new school year--2013-2014! Summer has flown by. Teachers start back to work (officially) July 29th. You can bet I will be there before then.
There is a registration night July 30 at 5:00-7:00. Hope to see everyone at that time. Looking forward to meeting my new students and greeting the old ones.
There first day of student attendance is August 6th. I believe that is an abbreviated day with students getting out at 11:00. Stayed tuned for further developments!
It's going to be an "Out of This World" year!

Stress-less
This is a picture of how I felt last week.
Not so this week! I, for one, am glad the TCAP testing is over for K-2 for this year. School's not over yet, however. I still have a few more great weeks left to accomplish a lot in preparing your child for the third grade!
I am going to do a little more with multiplication, of getting students to see the arrays (rows and columns) as 2+2+2 is this same as 3 x 2. We are still going to work on subtraction practice--two and three digits. Also, there will be more writing the next few weeks, emphasizing a strong beginning with great word choices. There will be homework still, but not nearly as much as the evenings are being filled with many outdoor activities. I understand family time.
We will be studying Native Americans starting May 6th. There will be several activities and craft projects, done at school. Also, there will be a few art projects relating to story books I have read to the students. One book is called Giraffes Don't Dance, which shows students that every one finds his/her way to do something, not always the way everyone else does. Those paintings will be up for the Art Show during the Arnold School Play. Hope you will have time to look at the artwork on display.
