Hello! Hopefully this blog is seeing many new faces today. We attached this blog address to your child's assignment book today. We will also give out information at Parent Night next week. Book mark this or put it in your favorites and check it daily! There were no official assignments today, however, we did ask the kids to remember a healthy snack for tomorrow. Mrs. Hoppe/Zimm's group is going to use a binder to organize their language materials and we asked the kids to write this in with a due date of September 15th. We had another phenomenal day and are so excited about the great kids we get to spend our time with!

First Day of School Success!

We had a wonderful day in Blue 2 today. It was great to see all of our students excited about the new adventure we are starting on. There were no actual homework assignments tonight, but we did ask the students to talk with you about two things. The first was what kinds of snacks they could bring or buy from school breakfast in the morning. Second the kids need to know what your expectations are for ala carte at lunch and also doubles of food. Some ideas kids suggested were have ala carte one time per week, no ala carte, or one time per month. Please remember that we are a peanut free team and cannot have snacks with nuts in them. Thank you for sharing your kids with us today and this year! We are looking forward to getting to know everyone better!
