First Day

Thank you to all the students for a great first day. We had many discussions about lunch room behavior, recess expectations, classroom rules, etc. Students were also able to pick their first classroom job. We had our first special, Library, and students were able to pick two books out. We earned out first sticker in special. Wonderful job. I look forward to our second day.

Open House

It was great to meet so many parents and students today. Students were able to pick their seats and put their books in their desk. Then parents were asked to give their best email and phone number to be reached at. There was another sheet for what bus students would be taking home. This includes if students take different buses each day. If you would like to email me this information, my email is acoulon@sau15.net.  I also sent parents home with a questionaire to be returned on the first day.  If you were not able to attend, your child will come home with a questionaire on Monday.  Please fill out and return to me by Friday, September 4th.  Thank you.
