We say good-bye to summer today.  

We have started a new theme in the reading book.  Our next three stories will all be about nature.  Our first story is, "Henry and Mudge and the Starry Night."

Fall will arrive next week!  I am glad the weather is still nice to say good-bye to summer.

Our spelling tests are going very well.  I am proud of the students and how well they prepare for the tests.

We will be taking a test over the last silly story, "Mrs. Brown" tomorrow.

The students are bringing home their mid-chapter 2 test in math.

September is half over!

It's hard to believe September is now at the half-way mark.  Time is going way too fast!

We had an awesome time today discussing apple seeds and eating apples!!  We saved the seeds and the kids are bringing home a neat experiment to conduct in your refrigerator!  Don't worry, it is not messy!

Our reading story out of the anthology is "Mrs. Brown Went to Town."  

The students have Library tomorrow.

Spelling again tomorrow for anyone who missed one or more.  

Frequent bathroom breaks are given throughout each school day.  I never deny a student from going to the bathroom when they ask.
