I hope that everyone is enjoying the summer. I have my windows open to let in the fresh air today. I'm enjoying working to the songs of the cicadas among the soft sounds of the breezes. It's so peaceful! (If you'd like to learn more about cicadas, you can watch the videos below and read more here. It's not too early to start some fourth grade learning, right?)
I am sure that many of you are preparing for school just as I am. I hope that you received the welcome letter in the mail and have had an opportunity to pick up some school supplies. I wanted you to know that I will have school supplies available, so don't worry if you don't get everything on the list. I included it all because I know that many students prefer to have their own.
Speaking of school supplies, it would be handy if they could be labeled before you bring them to school. (The supplies list and labeling information can be found in previous blog posts. Please scroll down to find them.) If you'd like, you may bring your desk/locker supplies and classroom donations to the open house or the first day of school. Your locker and your desk will be labeled with your name, so you can move right in whenever you're ready.
Just a reminder, our open house will be on Wednesday, August 29th from 6:00-6:45. I hope that you and your family will be able to attend. If you'd like to introduce yourself prior to that night, or if you have something on your mind that you want to share with me, please feel free to send me an email. (Kids, be sure to ask your parents first!)
I'm looking forward to meeting everyone soon!
Educationally yours,
Deneal Johnson
