We have been participating in a Global Read Aloud (GRA)--classrooms all over the world have been reading Charlotte's Web and connecting with each other by sharing activities and using other web tools. I have been connecting with 2 classrooms through a website called edmodo. It's an educational social network. Tomorrow we will be Skyping with a 1st grade class in Michigan and we are collaborating to come up with activities to do together throughout the year. I am very excited about this new project! Below are some videos of work we've done for Charlotte's Web:

Drop Off & Dismissal

Student drop off time **will now be** 7:55-8:10. PLEASE be sure you child is on time. We have very busy schedules and begin our day promptly. If the students are not in the classroom by 8:10, they will be marked absent and will need to be signed in by an adult at the office. If your child is going to be absent, please call the child safe line to let us know.
Dismissal time **will now begin at** 2:15. Please be certain your child knows what bus he/she travels on. If there will be a change in your child's routine, please send a note in with your child. We can not make any changes to a child's routine without a hand written note.

As always, we encourage healthy food and snacks to be brought to school to eat. Please remember to keep classroom snacks peanut & tree nut free.
We have busy days ahead of us and the day is longer compared to Kindergarten. It is important that the students are able to maintain their energy and stay focused :)
