New School Year, New Students and New Goals

I AM going to be better about posting on our class blog; every year it seems something gets in the way. The blog becomes the last priority, but my goal is to keep it updated with the goings on in class biweekly. Fingers crossed I can keep myself to that! The last two weeks of school have flown by. A child of one of the teachers told her mom that it felt like she had already been here all year on the second day of school. It doesn't feel like we've been here that long, but it sure does feel great to get back into the swing of things. Our first week was full of activities to help the students get to know their classmates, their teachers and to have some fun. Things it can take a summer to forget and a few days back in to school to remember! This year we get to buddy with Mrs. Jensen's second grade class and it is great to see the students helping out the kids in younger grades. It is quite a change for me but I am excited to be teaching sixth grade this year and to be working with your students. The first two weeks have been great and I am excited for the year!
