First Day Wrap-Up

Whew! We made it through our first day.  And not just any ordinary first day – a full long first day.  I know the kids heads were spinning with all letters we handed out today.  It can be overwhelming.  There is a lot to go over at school and then when they get home you have a stack of things to read.  Everything in the pile is very important.  Please take the time to read it carefully.  I had so much fun meeting everyone today.  What a whirlwind of names.  My goal is to have a really good grasp on all the names by the end of the week.  One of the students told me today that they are having a hard time remembering their three teachers’ names.  I just chuckled thinking about the ninety some names I will be learning this week.
As the days go on this week getting up will be harder and harder.  But if the kids are anything like me they get tired earlier every night and are ready for bed.  It is nice that are first week back is only a four day week.

I just want to remind everyone about our middle school Open House next Thursday, September 14th.  It starts at 6 p.m.  All of the sixth grade parents will meet first in the cafeteria.  I hope to see everyone there.

Here is my last supply update:

I didn’t find many of the supplies on sale except the flash drives.  I do know however that Target’s regular price for composition books is $.50.  They also had 5 divider tabs in a pack really cheap the last time I was there, but I don’t remember their regular price.  So I am only listing links to the flash drive sales.
