Hello!

We are off to a GREAT start this year! I have 21 of the most wonderful kids any teacher could ever ask for! So far we've taken a Reading Placement Test and a timed 2 mulitplication test. We also started working on a packet to learn more about Wisconsin. Today we colored the state flag (1848) and listened to the book "School Days" by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Between 11:30-11:45 I'm reading the book, "Inkheart" to the class and then from 11:45-12:00 we have D.E.A.R. (drop everything and read. The students may read classroom books or bring a book of their own. We will have our first library checkout time next Friday. Stay tuned for more later...I will be sending home a permission slip for the blog tomorrow and have a picture of our first day to post.
