First Day of School!

Team Blowey had a great day in school today!  We spent a lot of time getting used to the classroom and some school procedures but the best part of the day was definitely getting to know each other a little bit more!  We played some fun games to help us learn about each other (The Warm Wind Blows...) and also learn about working together as a team (Blob Tag!).  We even got to read a silly story about a mom who dresses up as a plant just so she can go to second grade again.


This year is shaping up to be a great one with lots of fun and learning.  We're all definitely excited to see how much we're going to grow.

Just a reminder:

If you haven't already sent in your child with their supplies, we're still missing some binders. Remember they can be two, 2 inch three ring binder with a clear plastic cover. We'll need one for math, and one for our other subjects.  Please try to do so before the end of the week.  Everyone came prepared with their pencil boxes today so kudos to everyone!  And a HUGE thank you to everyone who was able to donate some supplies to the classroom!  Team Blowey appreciates every little thing you do to help.  

Also, no homework this week!  The only thing I ask for you to do is take a look through the totes your child brought home today and also to initial the behavior slip your child brought home in their boomerang folders.  

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

I hope you all had an AMAZING summer! I know I did!

I spent most of my days working outside in a pool. Thank goodness for all of that gorgeous weather we had! I was so happy to work with so many great kids and even happier that so many of them grew into fantastic swimmers. I even had some extra time to sit down and read some great books! (I hope all of you did too!)

-Two 2 inch three ring binders (one with the clear pocket front)
