Dear Families,
If you haven' t seen the official letter yet, it is my pleasure to share with you that I will be looping with our class to 3rd grade next year.  I am very excited about this.  The children are like my own and to spend another year watching them grow, both academically and socially is very much my privilege.  If you have any questions about this please don't hesitate to contact myself or Mr. Nusbaum.

Things such as baseballs, basketballs, bats, water bottles, cones, whistles, under eye makeup, etc.  Anything is welcome!

Happy Day!

As the children know more than I do with electronics I am going to try and keep up!  I have started something new we call "The Blog".  This is going to be a way for me to communicate with you even better!

How is "The Blog" different than email?
The Blog is very similar to email.  You will be notified via email when I blog something.  Some of the only true difference is that "The Blog" page will allow us to email and communicate together and allow us to communicate among all of us.  It will also allow me to share videos and pictures with you all as well.

Please know that this blog will take place of the Weekly News.  All of the upcoming events, news, reminders, days for specials etc. will be on this blog.  Please feel free to add comments and/or questions as you wish.  Feedback on your opinion of "The Blog" versus email would be nice to hear as well.

Thank you,
Shelly
